+Manual installation from Solaris 10 is not possible because NetBSD
+cannot use the resultng UFS filesystem.  It is possible to install
+Solaris 10 and NetBSD on the same disk.  To do so, partition the disk
+with the Solaris format command, then boot NetBSD and perform a manual
+installation.  Be careful not to write a NetBSD disklabel.  Use the
+disklabel command to read the partition size, as constructed from the
+Solaris disklabel.  By default the NetBSD newfs command writes a NetBSD
+disklabel.  Avoid this by using the -F and -s arguments to newfs.
