Thanks for the quick reply!
I will try to boot from a floppy (I'd make a CD if I knew it will work
100% :) ) But this gives me an easy and quick way to compile/test.
Will let the list know of the result tonight when I get home!

I boot the file? Can I boot from a floppy and continue loading stuff from the

Sure, you can put multiboot on a floppy. Boot from CD and manually
type in commands to load multiboot from floppy.
You can also write your own bootable CD with the modified multiboot.
Copy /boot from Solaris media to disk, replace <dir>/boot/multiboot,
and use the following command to recreate iso image:
mkisofs -o <dir> \
-b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito \
-c .catalog \
-no-emul-boot \
-boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table \
-relaxed-filenames -N -L -l \
-r -J \
-d -D \
-V newboot <output.iso>
