SUMMARY
=============

  Solaris and Win2k *can* exist on the same physical drive, with Linux
even.  The real trick is to install Win2k _first_, Solaris second and
Linux third (if you want to install Linux).

  Michael Grice sent me this link, which is very useful for
understanding multibooting Solaris with other Operating Systems:

Also, Petros Triantafyllidis pointed to this article on SysAdmin Mag
from last October:
