[OpenIndiana-discuss] Knife (chef) bootstrap template for OpenIndiana.

I've put together a bootstrap template for bootstrapping an
OpenIndiana server with chef-client using Knife:
https://gist.github.com/1096563

It installs Ruby 1.9 from source rather than using the Ruby 1.8
package from IPS. This is due to a bug in Ruby 1.8 that causes
repeated Ohai attempts to exhaust all available file descriptors on
Solaris. It also patches chef-client and ohai to do full
platform/distribution detection for Solaris distributions (these
changes have been contributed for review:
tickets.opscode.com/browse/OHAI-281).
