Are you sure that''s the case? I was under the impression that
debootstrap was
a self-contained tool and so ought to be able to compile on non-Debian
systems. ISTR compiling it on a RH-alike Linux distro. Not ever tried it on
Solaris tho...
Another similar Debian tool is crosshurd (ignore the mention of hurd,
it''s not
specific to that system!), which I guess could also be worth a try.
Another possible option: maybe you can set up a Linux userspace in a Solaris
Zone, then use that for creating the image? Not ideal, I realise...

Do you have HVM support? If so, then you should just be able to install from
CD-ROM. I''ve successfully installed domains in HVM mode and converted
them
to PV mode in the past, if you want to end up with a Xenified guest.
Cheers,
Mark
