No need to build from source. You can generate a modified ISO image. What I mentioned was that multiboot is gone in Build 57 so you can try to install that when it is available. If you do not want to wait I can send you a modified multiboot binary in an off-list mail. You can then recreate the Solaris Express ISO image having the modified multiboot binary via the following steps. All the following assumes you are using a DVD. If you are using CD images then you need to only apply these steps to rebuild the first CDROM ISO image. 1) Take a note of the mkisofs command used to create the DVD. The following command will print the mkisofs options: cat solarisdvd.iso | strings | grep mkisofs It will be something like: mkisofs 2.01 -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -c .catalog -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -relaxed-filenames -l -ldots -r -N -d -D -V SOL_11_X86 -o .../solarisdvd.iso .../solarisdvd.product 2) Now mount the ISO image: lofiadm -a /path/to/solarisdvd.iso mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/<Number> /mnt 3) Dump the ISO contents elsewhere: cd /mnt find . | cpio -pdum /some/directory/newdvd 4) Now replace /some/directory/newdvd/boot/multiboot with the modified binary 5) Re-generate the DVD image using the mkisofs options. For as per aboveer cd /some/directory/ mkisofs -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -c .catalog -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -relaxed-filenames -l -ldots -r -N -d -D -V SOL_11_X86 -o newdvd.iso newdvd Now you can burn the image and try it out with fingers crossed!
