It kind of makes sense -- if you're on Solaris you need to use
"shutdown -i 6 -g 0" to reboot, and on everything else you need to use
"reboot"

Hello folks,
Neat bit of trivia -- in VirtualBox 4.0's new VM wizard, if you give
"OpenIndiana" as part of the VM name it automatically selects "Solaris |
Solaris modern (S10U8+)" as the OS type and subtype. It's nice to get a nod
from Oracle. :)

I've done CentOS 5.5, save for:

on OI)
