What's New in the Solaris 8 Operating Environment

IA: Boot Partition in Solaris 8

Users running Solaris Intel Platform Edition can now designate a separate IA boot partition. This boot partition, which requires 10 Mbytes of disk space, can be installed on a disk separate from the rest of the Solaris operating environment, thus enabling the user to install more than one operating system on a machine. Only the boot partition needs to be located on the boot disk.
