| General Notes: |
1. Need to use BootCamp to create a Windows partition before installation.
2. After Windows partition is created, reboot the machine and start from SXDE installation DVD.
3. Use the following steps to change FAT32 Ex partition to Solaris2 partition:
* In the grub menu select '*Solaris Express*' to start the installation process
* Select '*Single user shell*' when prompted
* Run 'format' and type Ctrl-c to exit. Use format to determine the disk name for your internal disk.
* Run 'fdisk (e.g. fdisk /dev/rdsk/c1d1)', delete partition 3 (Win95 FAT32) and create a new SOLARIS2 partition
* Exit
4. Restart computer to Mac OS, use the following steps to change the ID for the EFI partition(it will have the id of 'EE') to 'AF'(HFS+) by typing as root use:
# fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
and typing:
setpid 1
63
wr
quit
5. Restart computer and boot from SXDE installation DVD, do installation as on a normal laptop. |

Also good to use rEFIt from http://refit.sf.net before installing Solaris so grub doesn't do anything funky. Indiana may not work as it uses ZFS root/boot. SXCE B90 and above or better is recommended. As of current both EFI bugs are not fixed with all revisions up to and including B98.
