You can actually start the AI install using a Solaris 10 based install server. You only actually need the OpenSolaris component when the machine has booted and does the mdns broadcast looking for an Install_Service. Looking at the installadm commands, I'd imagine its in the roadmap to specify a different location for the dhcp and tftp server. Co-existence does not seem to be a problem.
