i know it's possible using Parallels virtualization, which is full speed, but i' not sure if Boot Camp will let you dual boot. i have heard stories of Linux being installed in a dual boot environment, so i would suppose that it's theoretically possible.

Maybe he means with Solaris , though I haven't heard of any. Everything runs perfectly with windows, including two-finger scroll and 2 finger right click.

You might want to look into rEFIt and see if it works for you.

I have loaded Solaris 10 in a Parallels VM on mac pro and is working normally. I relly need to get soalris 8 & 9 Installed to run an older app though and havn't been able to get it to load.

I haven't tried setting up solaris on a mac specifically - however I thought I'd interject here with another point. Solaris supports EFI natively (Sparc systems use EFI too). Because of this, I would think you wouldn't need boot camp or anything special. Just partition, install, and go ...

That would be my guess. Once I get an intel Mac I too plan on installing Solaris 10.
