Root password on solaris 5.7?

Solaris 10 drops Sun4m support (8? (maybe 9) dropped 4c and 4d support) Solaris 9 is (comparing apples to oranges, x86 to SPARC) noticably faster than 10 (10 on x86-633, 9 on U1 200E). I think that Sun only makes available the current release of Solaris :-(((( not very much use to the classic community (be nice if they had older SPARCcompilers, too) but I guess (a) they want to show off the latest and greatest technology and (b) it doesn't hurt if it stimulates hardware sales. xBSD is rumored to mount Solaris filesystems R/W, Linux is still experimental (I think- haven't poked around in there too much, just select "y" and buld from there.) although it is stable. Any Solaris 2.x or 7+ CD should mount enought to be able to read the disk. The Ultra2 is a nice machine- dual-processor capable etc. You can drop in a UPA framebuffer to get graphics easily (Creator class graphics are quite cheap and 24-bit).
