The above reply is a bit misleading. Tadpole-RDA *does* sell Solaris 7
with necessary patches to run on the 3GX for something like $350. And you
may be pushing the limits of the 1.2 GB hard drive as well.
But if you want access to patches at no charge, then the previous poster is
correct.

I hope not ! It should work on 2.5.1, 2.6 amd 7 in exactly the
same<br>
fashion - we spent a while making sure that the move from our Save &
Resume<br>
to Sun's method didn't impact on normal user operation.<br>

It didn't work for me either. I had to do an interactive boot,
and<br>
change the kernel setting (the rest was correct at default). And
only<br>
then would it boot. Try that.<br>
