I know that Sun make s a version of Solaris for Sparc platforms and also an x86 (Intel/AMD) release of Solaris. Can an application that runs on Solaris/Sparc also run on a PC running the x86 release of Solaris? Would a different release be required or any re-compling of the application?

installgrub
installgrub(1M) System Administration Commands installgrub(1M)
NAME
installgrub - install GRUB in a disk partition or a floppy
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/installgrub [-fm] stage1 stage2 raw-device
DESCRIPTION
The installgrub command is an x86-only program. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader.
installgrub installs GRUB stage 1 and stage 2 files on the boot area of a disk partition. If you specify the -m option, installgrub
installs the stage 1 file on the master boot sector of the disk.
OPTIONS
The installgrub command accepts the following options:
-f Suppresses interaction when overwriting the master boot sector.
-m Installs GRUB stage1 on the master boot sector interactively. You must use this option if Solaris is installed on an extended parti-
tion.
OPERANDS
The installgrub command accepts the following operands:
stage1 The name of the GRUB stage 1 file.
stage2 The name of the GRUB stage 2 file.
raw-device The name of the device onto which GRUB code is to be installed. It must be a character device that is readable and writable.
For disk devices, specify the slice where the GRUB menu file is located. (For Solaris it is the root slice.) For a floppy
disk, it is /dev/rdiskette.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Installing GRUB on a Hard Disk Slice
The following command installs GRUB on a system where the root slice is c0d0s0:
example# /sbin/installgrub /boot/grub/stage1
/boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0
Example 2 Installing GRUB on a Floppy
The following command installs GRUB on a formatted floppy:
example# mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt
# mkdir -p /mnt/boot/grub
# cp /boot/grub/* /mnt/boot/grub
# umount /mnt
# cd /boot/grub
# /sbin/installgrub stage1 stage2 /dev/rdiskette
FILES
/boot/grub Directory where GRUB files reside.

WARNINGS

boot the GRUB in the Solaris partition regardless of which fdisk partition is active.
