[ Moved from opensolaris-arc ] Both the 32-bit and 64-bit kernels are installed on x86 systems; systems that are 64-bit capable will boot the 64-bit kernel by default after installation. You can override this; have a look at section 4.2 of: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/grub_boot_solaris.html How exactly is the 64-bit kernel unstable?
