Easiest is to have two hard drives installed. Install Solaris or FreeBSD in any order. Turn off the auto-boot feature (set auto-boot? false), then use 'boot disk0' or 'boot disk1' to multi-boot. You can also install both FreeBSD and Solaris on the same disk. Unlink some architectures (like Alpha), FreeBSD/Sparc (and Solaris) don't care if / is on the 'a' partition, nor if / is the first partition on the disk. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
