In college we had some i386-based Solaris machines. Towers. They would run
DOS/Windows in a window on the Solaris desktop -- but the machines were dogs,
and I feel pretty certain they wouldn't boot straight into DOS or Windows,
lacking PC BIOS. I know of no Sun machine that will natively boot DOS or
Windows, and almost all of them are SPARC-based, an architecture that never
received a Windows port.
