you can distinguish several kernels by specifying the device environment variable in the boot eeprom (see man eeprom: boot-* commands). Some of these commands are similar to those in the boot monitor itself.<br />
AFAIK there is no way to store sevaral pathes and make a choice on boot.

I have a Sun Ultra% box with a big internal disk plus a external disk array.<br />
<br />
currently I have Solaris 8 loaded.<br />
<br />
From time to time, I need to evaluate various different software/patches etc running on different versions of Solaris.<br />
<br />
I was told I could install different versions of Solaris on the same disk but just don't know how.<br />

Can someone help me? &nbsp;<br />

how to load different version of Solaris on to one big disk

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
