I'd like to propose a project to enable and enhance Solaris support for
shipping and future Intel processors and platforms.
As we are all aware of, Sun and Intel have formed an alliance to make
Solaris the Unix operating system of choice on Intel platforms. We
believe the only sensible and the most effective way to pursuit this
goal is to do development in the OpenSolaris community.
Our first effort will focus on the following areas on Bensley platform,
but will be ongoing as new processors and platforms become available:
- Performance improvement
- CPU feature enabling
- Power management support
- Virtualization support
- FMA support (coming soon)
Would there be some form of hardware support for community contributors
to this project?
To do any serious work on a project like this would require a >$2000
system for testing. I don't think it could work with a remote box.

I don't know about physical access, but we should be able to provide
remote root access and remote power cycle, which may get you farther
then you think.
Cheers,
Jim
