Yes, SILO supports it, but due to missing features in IEEE1275 PROM one
cannot pass arguments to Solaris kernel that way. So one might also want to
install Solaris on a different partition and put it's bootblocks there, then
boot disk:d or whatever.

Current CVS kernel (see ftp://vger.rutgers.edu/pub/linux/README.CVS) has
read-write support for UFS, although it is still experimental. So, don't use
it for data you would not like to loose. On the other side, bug
reports/comments are welcome and may improve UFS support, so that it moves
from EXPERIMENTAL to stable...
Cheers,
Jakub
