Yes, if your hardware is not on the HCL Sun doesn't officially support it or guarantee that it will work. However, Solaris x86 is pretty robust and just because it isn't listed doesn't mean you won't be able to get it to work. Best thing to do is give it a try.

you can always reinstall if you want.
the labels are the filesystems you created durring install.
typicly /, /usr, swap are created durring the install.

ok I can do that I Guess.
But I have noticed some things During the installation.
when I used the first cd labeld (sol-9-u6-install-x86) and after going with what it prompts me to do, and rebooting the system, I find that web installer is launched asking me if I want to install (java_es_03Q4-solaris-x86-iso) and others I don't remmber them now.
I say now and exit's the web installer and reboot I find that it Don't launch another time, so I decided to install from ccd labeld (sol-9-u6-x86-v1), and go with after I am prompted to do, and say full installation with oem support, the installation after that went fine and well, rebooted, asked for cd 2 labeld (sol-9-u6-x86-v2), and the installation went from it just fine, done root password set, ...etc during install.
ok were done.
the configration assistant I belive it is so called ( my bad experince with Solaris Drives me to drop every good idea I had on it before .... sorry ...this can be fixed ......later) deticted my devices fine and every thing is comptable even sound card !
after the last reboot of the system,
I get the boot menu x86 active, solaris
