    I have a V6J that I bought from Taiwan last week.

    I'm thinking about dual booting with XP and Solaris (or maybe Mac OS X)...

    Does anyone know how to do this or if this would work? ;)

    I'm not too sure about dual-booting, but you can run Mac OSX within Windows with PearPC. Its emulation software similar to VirtualPC for Mac, which runs Windows within OSX. PearPC will work, however I believe its somewhat resource intensive, and I don't know if all programs have full functionality due to the way it would read some drivers. It may be a good starting point, though.
