Hi Vedang,

   There is a known problem with BeleniX 0.6.1 install to harddisk.
Not all required files are installed correctly. We are working on a
new release due out in Jan which will fix these issues and will be
based off the Indiana tools.

In the meantime I suggest you to use either Indiana or Solaris
Express for installation to harddisk. You can get Solaris Express
DVD via http://get.opensolaris.org/

Regards,
Moinak.
