The example I gave merely creates two mirrored EBS instances to attach
to a single EC2 instance (in my case, hardened OpenSolaris). I don't
know if Solaris has a way to boot from EBS. But development on a lot
of this stuff has dropped off since the Oracle acquisition... The most
recent AMIs released appear to be from January of this year (probably
not a coincidence as Jan 27 '10 was the date Oracle announced
completion of their acquistion):
