• Create 3 PRIMARY partitions on the disk in the following order • DOS FAT • DOS FAT (to become NTFS) • empty (to become Solaris) • install DOS (or Win 9x) on Partition 1 • Then install NT on partition 2, converting to NTFS while installing • Finally, install Solaris 2.6 on partition 3 using Solaris interactive. Solaris boot manager will be the master boot controler, but then choose partition 1 to boot NT (yes that is right, not 2). Then the NT boot manager will come to life, allowing you to select either DOS (partition 1) or NT (partition 2). Note that Solaris is the active partition.
