Slightly related to this, has anyone else tried (or have any advice on) installing solaris on a dual-boot system, so they have winxp and opensolaris residing on the physical disk, and then trying to boot the physical opensolaris partition from under vmware running on winxp?

When I tried this, solaris paniced.

Anyone have any clues on how to persuade it to run in the vmware environment? Presumably there are some kernel boot parameters that I can set from grub when booting it that way.

Thanks in advance,

--Wez.

Installing GRUB on USB stick

I wrote this guide for installing GRUB on my USB stick. Maybe someone will find 
it useful. Comments or suggestions for improvement are welcome.

The following steps will install GRUB on a USB stick. If the USB stick is 
inserted the GRUB menu will appear, if not XP will boot automatically. Remember 
to configure your BIOS to boot from USB.
