While working with Solaris 10 x64, there isn’t an easy way to enter OK prompt to pass in OK prompt boot parameters. So, I run the following command:
reboot -- -m verbose
“–” dash-dash enabled me to pass in OK prompt boot parameters. In this case, the OK prompt boot parameters above is “-m verbose” This will show additional verbose messages during boot if I choose the transient option in the Grub menu.
I saw this title, and I was like, Solaris X86/X84, and I could not believe Sun would port Solaris to the IMSAI Control Computer which has an Intel 8084 CPU. But then I realized the author of this message made a typo, and the meant to sat Solaris X86_64. Though it would have been Uber geeky cool to see Solaris running on an IMSAI 8084.

And in a stroke of irony, the comment about a typo contained more typos.
I never said I could type. 😛

Haha. Thanks for catching the typo. I’ve updated the blog entry.
