Which LiveCD did you use?

I booted up on the BeleniX 32 bit LiveCD as detailed here:

Running /usr/bin/hdinstaller in a KTerm allowed me to install to the
hard drive, as per:

http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Belenix_FAQ#How_do_I_install_BeleniX_to_harddisk_.3F

I repartitioned my whole disk to one Solaris partition, and then used
auto layout for the rest (selecting slices for swap, /usr and /opt).
Let GRUB install to the MBR, set my root password, and then the system
rebooted off the hard drive into BeleniX.

I'll try to write a quick OpenSol journal on this soon.

So when you get an error, please post the exact output if possible.
That way, people know what is going wrong and can help.
