    Use Partition Magic to start a new partition and still save the old one. As far as I know there is no way to dual boot without restarting the computer and selecting which OS you want then.

    Run VMWare or one of these programs, also not 8, run 9.... Intel version blows so I would recommend getting a Sparc box if you want to run Solaris...
