Steffen-- Not quite sure what you meant about "would it be possible"...the system I pulled that from has no Linux partition, but has the the following "fdisk" partitions (expressed as if they *were* Linux partitions): hda1 100MB FAT16 partition hda2 400MB NTFS partition (NT Workstation, installation 1) hda3 400MB NTFS partition (NT Workstation, installation 2 for testing) hda4 1.2GB Solaris (type 83) partition
Within that 1.2GB "fdisk type 83" partition live 6 Solaris "slices", including the "overlap" slice 2 which addresses the entire 1.2GB fdisk partition.
Figuring this stuff out and getting NT and Solaris to install on one system was painful, but kernel >=2.1.77 should support all this natively...so I'm not sure what your "would this be possible" question was really asking about.
ObLinuxKernel: Has anyone tested the kernel support for Solaris slices on a multi-boot system as gnarly as this? I haven't put Linux on here because I had enough trouble getting Solaris and NT to play nicely together, but I'm interested in anyone else's results...
