Solaris x86 on D<LL (OK I said it)
OK, I have a DELL Poweredge 2850 fresh out of the box sitting here.

I'm thinking of putting Solaris 9 x86 on it.

Has anyone ever attempted this before, do you think it will work?

I dont want to get into something that is just going to be a enormus waste of time, so I am wondering if anyone has ever made this setup work (dell server and solaris x86)

I know dell has that internal raid controller, so ill need drivers for that.
This is the thing that worries me...

I have experimented with a dell pc and solaris x86 and it worked.
Wondering if drivers for the server hardware is readily available.

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

       512 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       tures available.
