Once again I am back with the same question that still hasn't found a 
satisfactory answer. I have sparc and no x86 based machine to spare to install 
OpenSolaris on it to boot/install on sparc. I tried other methods to install 
OpenSolaris following guidance I found on various blogs, but with 
unsatisfactory results. I got to a point where I can boot an installation, but 
there is no driver for my Expert 3D Lite FB :-(

I searched for "roadmap" and "sparc" and "ultrasparc" on opensolaris.com 
without getting any meaningful (to my subject) results. 

I was wondering if anybody knows when an OpenSolaris installation DVD will be 
available for Sparc, with full support for Sun hardware and a package update 
manager like pkg that will help maintaining the installation up to date without 
need to re-install or luupgrade every few weeks (as I had to do so far with 
SXCE)
