Is this bootstrap-latest.tar.gz downloaded from S3?

If so, please note the Opscode cookbooks are focused on Linux,  
particularly Debian or Ubuntu. As such, you'll need to modify the  
cookbooks to work on Solaris.

Also, at this time Chef doesn't have a provider for managing packages  
on Solaris. I believe someone from IRC (sigmonsays?) was working on  
Solaris providers, but I don't know the status.

That said, a Solaris chef-client should [mostly] work. You can use  
execute/script resources to manage packages until a provider is  
available. I don't know if chef-server will install on Solaris, as I  
couldn't get stompserver gem installed (I didn't spend much time, but  
it was an eventmachine compile problem).
