nice to see these instructions here.

has anyone gotten OpenSolaris to work on a macbook using Parallels Desktop?

After “Configuring Devices” there are some lines like:

asy0: UART @ 3f8 scratch register: expected 0×5a, got 0xff
Cannot identify UART chip at 3f8
.
(Cannot identify UART chip at 2f8)
.
Mounting local partitions/cdroms
Reading ZFS config: done.
.
(ident UART x3 – 3f8, 3f8, 2f8)
.

then apparently hangs.

CDROM (mounted as ISO) doesn’t appear to be accessed anymore.

Thank you for a wonderful guide, this page was added to my favourite bookmarks! I’ll try OpenSolaris very soon on my nearly to year old macbook, altough I’m quite inexperienced and new to Solaris. I hope migrating from Gentoo/FreeBSD to OpenSolaris is not as hard as it was from Slackware to BSD. Best regards, haxx0r.

Hi ! Thanks for the info.
How did the trackpad behave ? Is it recognized as a mouse at all ?

[...] I expect I might just be shopping for a laptop in the next year – and it’s nice to see that OpenSolaris does run on the Apple MacBook. This article goes into detail about how the writer got it to work, and each of the steps that [...]
