Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. It means that IMO the current patch proposed by Colin is not correct: - we should make sure we only default to local time on x86, and not on sparc - we probably should ask the user what he actually wants because he may be running OpenSolaris in UTC, for example if it's the only installed OS and especially if it's co-installed with Linux and not Windows Looking at os-prober, we seem to detect Solaris (I'm assuming that covers OpenSolaris) as Solaris on both arches, but with differing long descriptions (Solaris/IA32 and Solaris/SPARC). IMO having different long descriptions does not really make sense as the user already knows what arch is running (and IA32 would seem to imply that OpenSolaris has no 64-bit support?).
