Gotcha, yes this is for x86. I will try specifically deleting partitions 1 thorough 4 whether they exist or not. If it work, I'll post back and let everyone know. I am sure there's other people who have a bunch of Windows/Linux machines on when they are trying to install OpenSolaris and running into this bug.
Incidentally, I did boot into a linux livecd and deleted all the partitions by hand before using AI but of course I'd like to automate that through the manifests. Anyway, I'll let you know. Thanks -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
