[syslinux] Solaris / OpenSolaris

[Knut Petter]

I'm having some difficulties pxe booting Solaris. So far I have tried 
the mboot.c32, and the pxegrub shipped with Solaris. At first I had some 
problems with blksize, but this disapeared when I changed from atftpd to 
tftpd-hpa. The point at which I'm stuck now is, the kernel and 
x86.microroot/x86.miniroot is loaded but then VMWare crashes. I might 
try with real hardware, but I thought that VMWare had full support for 
Solaris / PXE booting.

Currently I'm loading the pxegrub via pxelinux and this is my menu.lst 
file for pxegrub.

        module /boot/grub/x86.microroot

        module /boot/x86.microroot

If someone has input in this manner, either how to use the mboot.c32 
module, or what is wrong with my kernel line, help would be greatly 
appreciated.
