Could you please provide more information about

osol-0906-ai-x86.microroot is used for Automated Installer
osol-0906-111b2.x86.microroot is used by LiveCD

They are not the same as they need to contain different
stuff supporting different boot process (AI boots from
network and downloads additional archives from there
- those are available on media in LiveCD case).

I am thinking if the issue might be related to the following bug:
6850 xVM guests fail to AI install due to missing /reconfigure or 
system/reconfigure SMF property

This one was filed against AI and fix went into AI microroot only.

Thank you,
Jan
