[OpenIndiana-discuss] Fwd: TEST-pkg available: Hipster's future VirtualBox-5.1.6-SunOS-amd64-r110634.pkg

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

Martin,

Could you post the graphic you used for the VirtualBox BIOS? Is this the
graphic people are talking about? I don't have a Solaris box bare-metal to
test out your package on right now, sorry.

first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all
irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and
warning... The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we’re all
damaged." - Jean-Luc Picard, quoting Judge Aaron Satie, Star Trek: TNG
