Specifically, once you create yourself an account under OpenSolaris, the 
bootblocks can be found under:

http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/psm/stand/bootblks/

The top level is under common/boot.fth (note that it ends by calling 
do-boot which it just defined). For a CDrom, the filesystem code it 
defines is probably under hsfs/common/hsfs.fth

Good luck!
