I have one here that is quite literally hanging from a nail on the wall with
a hard disk hung on an IDE cable and it boots up and looks like so :
from the serial port .. no keyboard or mouse or any of that fancy stuff.

Don't try to build/BFU with ON previous to solaris_nevada(snv_74) however
as you end up in panic land quickly. See :
6580117 panic: assertion failed: ISP2(CPUSETSIZE()) on VIA Esther
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6580117
I'll give snv_74 a build/BFU brick test and see where we land.
