If you want the more traditional Solaris-like experience,
OmniOSce and OpenIndiana should both still work fine on 32-bit x86
CPU's.
They ship both 32 and 64-bit binaries of everything. Admittedly I have
not
tried this myself so your luck may vary.

I have a perfectly good, last generation Pentium 4 server at
3.2 GHz which currently runs Solaris 10 GA (01/2006). I'd
like to migrate away from Solaris 10 and run SDC on it.
Solaris and by extension illumos used to have full 32-bit
kernel support, which if I understood correctly has pur-
posely been ripped out.
I'd hate to waste a good server just because it has a 32-bit
processor. Is there a way to restore that and build a 32-bit
kernel so I can run SmartOS and SDC? What steps do I need to
take?
It's just software, so there's always a way, but SmartOS has never
supported 32-bit so you will need to do a huge amount of engineering
work by yourself to achieve this. It's not simply a case of reverting
some patches and booting a custom build.
