I installed 111b2 from LiveCD onto an x86 system, configured install
services for both x86 and SPARC (downloading the latest AI images
off of nana.sfbay), and tried doing AI installs to both types of
machines. Installation of a Toshiba x86 laptop succeeded, while
installation of a SPARC T2000 failed.
Here's the sequence of what I did:
installadm create-service -n x86_111b_svc -i 172.20.64.100 -c 10 -s
/var/tmp/AI/images/osol-0906-111b-ai-x86.iso /var/tmp/AI/targets/x86_111b
When this succeeded, I booted the x86 client off the net and started
its install. Then I configured a SPARC service:
installadm create-service -n sparc_111b_svc -s
/var/tmp/AI/images/osol-0906-111b-ai-sparc.iso
/var/tmp/AI/targets/sparc_111b
Tried booting the SPARC client to see what would happen considering
that the x86 service had been set up first. It got a file that wasn't
executable, so it appeared to be getting the x86 service. Then I did
a create-client for the SPARC machine:
installadm create-client -e 0:3:ba:d8:ce:f6 -t
/var/tmp/AI/targets/sparc_111b -n sparc_111b_svc
After this I tried booting the SPARC client again and this time
it got a usable miniroot and proceeded with the install. I then
let both installs run to completion.
First question -- is there anything wrong with how I configured
things above?
The x86 install completed successfully. The SPARC install failed.
The full install log is attached, but here's an excerpt that contains
the failure info. This occurs after all the packages have apparently
been successfully installed:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/a/platform/sun4v/bootlst'
<ICT_E May 15 14:51:30> Failure. Returning: ICT_COPY_SPARC_BOOTLST_FAILED
There is nothing under /a after the installer terminated, but I suppose
it unmounted the filesystem it was writing to before exiting. Is there
anything else I should look for while the system's still sitting in this
state (logged in after failed install)?
