Well, I only have 1GB of swap space here on slice 1 of the internal disk.
I guess I could pop in a 1GB USB stick and add more swap but I somehow doubt
that this machine has highspeed USB ports on it.

I can boot and run Solaris on most things :-)

... but there really is no replacement for real memory.

Tell you what, I'm curious now. I'll create the snv_70b boot CDROM and give
it a whirl here.
