Marco,

yes I am a Solaris developer. [Open]Solaris x86 uses grub legacy to boot.
And our plans for Polaris involve using GRUB2 in order to reuse as much
code as possible. Multiboot naturally is a part of the game. And extending
it to PPC arch is a necessary step. I heard that there are plans to eventually
migrate SPARC boot to GRUB too.
