Re: Update: Booting OpenSolaris via gPXE

A slightly better hack might be the following, which does as much work
as possible before shutting down:

If I gunzip the milax ramdisk then the boot gets a little further
though it still stops after failing to open 'unix'.  I believe GRUB is
uncompressing modules into memory.
