Nils, Do you mean I can boot up a 64-bit HVM Solaris by editing the menu.lst? I installed a Solaris 10 U4 HVM and it's installed as 32-bit by default. Seems in menu.lst, there is no $ISALIST. I attached my menu.lst file. Could you help to have a look and tell me any hints to boot into 64-bit mode? Thanks a lot.
