Default boot
If you are having dual boot on your system, having both solaris and windows, then solaris becomes your default operating system. If you like to have windows as the default then you need to do the following changes in the solaris operating system. Go to /boot/grub open file menu.lst. You will see lines starting with hashes(#). On the end of the file you will these lines. title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1. cut this lines and pest it just above the following lines. #---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ---------- title Solaris Express Community Edition snv_82 X86 kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive. Reboot your system and you will see windows as your default boot. Also if you like to change your default time you can change “timeout”, in the same file. Default may be 10 sec you can change it according to your wish.

1st Tech talk
The talk was given to 2nd year CSE student on 1st of February.It started with the introduction to campus Ambassador(CA) program followed by presentation on open solaris,due to short notice very few people were present- needled to say interested people. There were questions will windows file work on solaris? can we run both windows and solaris on the same system? etc.Talk continued for almost 1 hour- thanks to the wonderful audience. Next day we had installation of Open Solaris. The installation process was very simple- even easier than windows.Some systems having problem with network card, but am sure it will be sorted out soon!
