There is a i386 port of Solaris. Version 9 has just come out. Sun talked
about dropping support, but they brought it back by popular demand.
Heck Sun is even going to release an i386 running their own flavor of
linux. I think that IBM and HP have released these all ready.
Funny how many of the "Real" unices are variants of BSD. Oh, I think that
there's a commercial version of BSD that works on the i386 as well.
If it makes your boss feel any better I'll give him a linux support
contract for a million dollars a year. Since I charge so much more it
_must_ be better. :)
