Hi,

after being replied 'OpenBSD/sparc64 can't run Solaris/sparc binaries',
I googled a bit to do it under NetBSD. There are a few notes on the Web
that makes my think it possible, right ?

if NetBSD/sparc64 can run Solaris/sparc binaries, would anyone point me
to the better way of doing it.

thanks !

Hi,

After a few testings with Solaris 10 on my U10, I definitely don't wan't
to run Solaris :) I will still have to be able to run a few things like
OpenOffice, ... So my question is "what's the best way to configure my
U10 to run OpenBSD and Solaris emulation ?".

What I can think of is :
1. Double boot Solaris/OpenBSD.
Then /emul/svr4 is mounted from the Solaris slice.
2. OpenBSD for the whole disk.
Then /emul/svr4 is created "by hand"

What's the "better/easier" way of doing it ?
Which Solaris is worth using ? I have 8, 9 and 10 here.
