Polaris got to the point where it booted to prompt but never considered
finished.The project was canned not long after this point.
The project spawned into a project for the main Pegasos 2 workstations we used
from Genesi.
I had the source, but think it is still online.

It was never merged into the main OpenSolaris repositories, it was only
ever available as a separate project. (The wording on Wikipedia is a
bit confusing there - perhaps it should say "which re-integrated the
relevant parts from Solaris 2.5.1 into their OpenSolaris project" and
add a note that it was abandoned before completion.)
