Hi Gueven sorry i forgot that exists embeded platform :) I think soekris boards is not playground for Opensolaris. Soekris board is very good hardware for routers, wi-fi ap etc... but this playground is for BSD like distros or some linux distros.
I answered to Girts post and i'm absolutely sure about this. 486 with 64mb is _not_ great idea for _Solaris_. Not Opensolaris or something like build around Opensolaris (soekris with thin opensolaris kernel and few userspace utils).
