Attached is a boot log and a binary to take a look at. It doesn't do too much. All you should have to do is make an entry in the boot menu to load and execute it. Let me know if you have any questions.

BBRV:
Great! But can you edit your post so we don't have to scroll

The port should be released this week. We have the last Sun Microsystems Legal hurdles to finish and...!!!
