1. To build the package you will need GNU make (gmake, /opt/sfw/gmake),
native Solaris make will not work.
+
+2. Due to two bugs in solaris 8 x86, you cannot reliably play DVDs using a
+ capacity >4GB:
+
+ - The sd(7D) driver on solaris 8 x86 driver has bug when accessing a
+ disk block >4GB on a device using a logical blocksize != DEV_BSIZE
+ (i.e. CDROM and DVD media). Due to a 32bit int overflow, a disk
+ address modulo 4GB is accessed.
+ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22516)
+
+ - The similar bug is present in the hsfs(7FS) filesystem code (aka ISO9660),
+ hsfs currently does not support partitions/disks >4GB, all data is
+ accessed modulo 4GB
