Actually you can remove big hunks of solaris's kernel.  Just rm -f the
modules.  You keep doing this until the box won't boot, then reinstall
from scratch, and repeat up to just before the last thing you removed :-)

I haven't done this since 2.6 mind, and it helped having the process
automated, but its still a lot of work.  Now if netbsd had run MP on
ultra 450's back then...

That same bastion + ipfilter was also good for a low risk high 
volume link too btw.
