Jason, as bug 5284 is fixed for now, Target Discovery and Target 
Instantiation
test drivers are now built during full build of slim_source gate and bundled
with new SUNWinstall-test SVR4 package:

http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/caiman/slim_source/usr/src/pkgdefs/SUNWinstall-test/

As far as other test drivers are concerned (orchestrator, ICT, ...)
they are currently work in progress (ETA not specified yet).


Dave, should we deliver SUNWinstall-test into IPS repository ?
If this is the case, I would file bug for this.

Thank you,
Jan
