Custom Spinning Your own Open solaris

I was wondering, If it is at all possible to spin my own custom opensolrais boot disc?

The reason i ask is becausrwe i am running Open Solaris on a AMD 64 bit based system and neet flash and MPeg support right out of the box.

A prompt answer Is much appreciated.

Yes, it is.

That is exactly what Schillix, Nextenta, Benelix and others do, although I've never done it with Opensolaris, only Solaris.

I would imagine really need to talk to the guys at install-discuss@opensolaris.org to get the level of detail you will need.
