Where can I find the source code for OpenSolaris?
You're familiar with this project, right? https://www.illumos.org/ It is a continuation of Open Solaris, and is 100% open source. There is a subreddit for IllumOS. There are a couple very usable systems based on that code base as well. i.e. a stable server OS https://omnios.org and rolling release desktop/multi-purpose OS https://openindiana.org Both run the Solaris kernel and tools. If UNIX and operating systems development really interests you, you might also look at BSD UNIX. SunOS version 4 was based on BSD UNIX. Solaris (aka SunOS 5) was a hybrid BSD/SystemV OS. If I were just starting out learning UNIX operating system code, I would start with Minix (an OS written with teaching OS design in mind) and NetBSD (carefully minted OS to run on any architecture, developed slowly because of its high coding standards).

Is anybody running HA router or firewall on a stick? How? Why? How's it working out?
Neat ideas. Have you looked into MAAS for PXE booting? It might do a lot of the stuff you're looking for. If that's too heavy, I've also seen a lighter PXE manager called Kayak for OmniOS... it's written in python, so if you wanted to port it, it might not be hard. https://omnios.org/setup/pxe https://github.com/omniosorg/kayak

I don't have anything explaining how things are hooked up, but the repo is all terraform and readme steps should bring up the lab. Much of the configuration should be in https://github.com/randomcoww/terraform-infra/blob/master/resources/env.tf
What are some alternatives?
