That is an excellent idea.  I like it because I am not making something up.

The only problem is that it doesn't really promote opensolaris very 
well.  People will get it after you select it to boot opensolaris 
selecting it, but would they get that it is opensolaris without explanation?

I like the Solaris logo with the sunrise graphic, but a) it is Solaris, 
not opensolaris and b) I doubt that Sun's trademark gatekeepers would 
let me check the graphic file into a GPL project.
