Many thanks for the response!!! I really appreciate it :-)
I am sorry but I don't know how to install the BeleniX drivers??
I cannot find any .pkg files in the directory and so I am very lost!
So you use FreeBSD 7.2 too :-) I have just installed it, along with Linux and
SXCE.
I can't seem to boot Solaris at all though since the system has the Linux GRUB
in the MBR, while I read that Solaris GRUB is on an active partition where it
is installed.
My current GRUB looks like so:

I have tried copying the boot sequence from my laptop over and editing as
appropriate!
The drive layout is as follows (Linux convention):
Hda1 ext3
Hdb1 Solaris UFS
Hdb2 BSD UFS2
Hdb3 Linux ext3
Hdb4 Extended
root (hd1,0,a) to me is disk 2, partition 1, slice 1... is this correct?
Or should I install Solaris GRUB into the MBR and use that for booting??
