The valid values for platform are whatever implementations Solaris supports and that bootadm builds archives for, as in /platform/`uname -m`, which uname(1m) calls the 'machine hardware name'. The proposal is that bootadm with -p <platform> build archives identical to those produced when bootadm is invoked natively on such a platform. -jg
