I know there's a project working on this, but I don't know the status. "Extended partitions" are strange beasts. > but right from first booting for installation, I remembered that after dialog (with red border) showing that it was extracting runtime JRE or something like that (I not remembered exactly), the installation hang forever :( That *sounds* like it might be a BIOS problem of some sort. I've seen reports of other platforms with problems like that in the past. If you run into similar problems (or, really, any problems), do post here, and someone with experience in that area will likely speak up with some suggestions. > At that time I was too busy with other works so I gave up soon without asking forum about solution.

Yes; that's the latest and greatest Nevada build from Sun. There are other distributions that are based on OpenSolaris, though, including Indiana (an experimental one from Sun), Nexenta (an independent GNU-flavored one), SchilliX, BeleniX, and MarTUX.
