Here is a grab of a boot screen
And here is a console login - notice how clean console is after Solaris booted! (actually it's been that way in S10 since SMF was integrated), and now by default background is black (some people prefer that way).
Notice that now there is no more Configuration Assistant or that ugly boot manager on Solaris x86/x64! It's now more clean and boots faster, much faster.
When Solaris SX will be based on build 14 or newer then it will of course include this new boot architecture - so look closely at it.
And the day when Open Solaris will be available to the rest of the world is coming! :) So saying in Sun style: stay tuned! :)

Looks alot like the old Windows NT boot screen :)
Does it need some patches over grub?
Very nice indeed :).
Mmm, now all it needs is a lovely Solaris 10 logo splash image for grub :D
Wow, some text on a screen! It's a breakthrough! ;)
It's dumb, but I took long to get used to the black on white Sun style, and now, I'd rather keep it that way. I hope I'll be able to -- but it's not high priority ;-)
Yes and where is the source code of Open Solaris ? Still pending
Open Solaris sources will be available to public in a near future.
GNU Multiboot Specification support is a good news!
