OK, this is for Google, as I found it so hard to find info on different boards. My hardware for my OpenSolaris install:
Asus M2N-VM HDMI motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+
Rest of the hardware here.
However, that’s the motherboard that my mate said he had and it all worked. Of course, given my luck, it didn’t. He’d told me the wrong board. He had the Asus M2A-VM HDMI. So that one works. The M2N-VM HDMI doesn’t. Not totally.
The problem is with the network on the M2N-VM, and, if I’d done proper research, I would have found out. I did try this guy’s fix using some 3rd party ethernet drivers, but that didn’t work for me. So I popped out to get an Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter and switched off the onboard LAN on the M2N-VM. Worked fine.
So I’m all set up. Copied over all my media and still got around 1TB spare:

Jay - I went with a CIFS mount as it was faster (30-40MB/s vs 20MB/s for NFS).
