[indiana-discuss] Can Opensolaris 2008.05 share a partition with Nevada or S10?

I appreciate that is is now possible to install OpenSolaris 2008.05 on a 
partition alongside GNU/Linux, BSD, MS-Windows, OSX or _almost_ any 
other X86 OS the user chooses.  However, I would like to see the 
capability of OpenSolaris to live alongside Solaris 10 or Solaris 
Nevada.  It takes some careful work during install and manual grub 
configuration, but Solaris Nevada and Solaris 10 can share a partition. 

Is there any way to confine OpenSolaris 2008.05 to a slice so it can 
live alongside other Solaris distributions or must it live inside a 
VirtualBox?
