I read that OpenSolaris can be booted from EFI machines such as Sun and Apple machines.
Belenix is a LiveCD based on OpenSolaris.
Is it possible to boot OpenSolaris from OLPC?
Is it possible to use OpenSolaris in OLPC with external USB storage without ZFS?
>From OpenSolaris discussion board:
"OLPC now uses LinuxBIOS. Osol can be made to boot with LinuxBIOS:

The OpenSolaris kernel can boot and work in OLPC and 256MB RAM should be enough to run a lightweight GUI. Some stripping of modules are definitely required, including having a minimal Xorg. Keeping a controlled set of apps will be enough to fit Osol onto a small footprint diskspace. There is a lot that won't be required in the OLPC environment.The difficulties I see are having a lightweight filesystem for the Flash storage with compression support. ZFS is a little too heavy for the OLPC application domain."
