I could change the procedure to use kill and then add a note suggesting that they use -9 if kill doesn't work.

We had some confusion about the device names, so there is probably some examples that were not cleaned up properly.

Will pointers to the coverage in the Getting Started guide be enough? or do we need more? We had some GRUB procedures in an earlier working copy, but none of them worked right, so we cut them.

With the new packaging system, we were staying away from mentioning pkgadd. Are there useful packages that you could add to an OpenSolaris system? > Multi-boot configuration with Windows, Linux.

Again, do we need more pointers? I knew the sharing data question was going to come up. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that I can get fully tested procedure ready by Wednesday, but if I can't we will get something in as soon as possible.
