Solaris X86 and Windows XP Dual Boot

Hi All,

I have a modern laptop that I need to keep my XP copy on (work
dictates it), but I'd like to stick Solaris 10 x86 on it as well. I
figure I could use this as a fully fledged mobile jumpstart server -
and also when I am not in the office and don't need to use windows I'd
be able to use a proper OS ;-)

I found a HOWTO at http://multiboot.solaris-x86.org/v/1.html which
details how to do an NT install and solaris on the same disk (my
setup) but I was wondering if any one else has a fairly safe and well
practised procedure for installing Solaris onto a single disk after XP
has been installed. I have done Linux dual boots with XP and it is
fairly painless, but I don't think that Solaris and Windows get on
this well (even though their parent companies appear to in the press).

I will of course summarise,

Thanks in advance,

Iain.
