Both do show up as 1386, and intel procs will show up as amd64. history rears it's head. Use isainfo and it will show you what is supported on your system. I know, I know, it doesn't make sense to have i386 there with amd64, don't ask me why, but that is how it is. I think we're building in 32-bit though, OpenSolaris runs 32-bit binaries just fine, on amd64. -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 IHV/OEM Group
