From the output it looks like it unarchived the /usr dir just fine (the solaris.zlib archive), but the error simply means that it wasn't able to find the /usr/bin/ai_sd binary. So my first guess would be that it got the wrong solaris.zlib archive, i.e. sucking bits from a non-AI ISO. thanks, -ethan
