Solaris x86 & VPC

Hola!

I recently tried to install either Solaris 9 x86 or Solaris 10 x86 under
the Virtual PC emulator on Mac OSX 10.3.4.

Solaris does start the boot process correctly, but errors out with:

        486 processor detected.
        (This processor is not supported by this release of Solaris.)
        Type any key to continue

To the best of my knowledge, Virtual PC emulates pentium-class machines.
Unfortunately, Microsoft recently purchased Virtual PC, making it much
harder to obtain any support or information about non-Microsoft platforms.

I'd appreciate suggestions on how to move past this error.

cheers!
