+* On Solaris x86, you cannot reliably play DVDs using a capacity >4GB:
+
+ The sd(7D) driver on solaris x86 has a 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.
+
+ There's no workaround available.
