problem solved!
actually i had not disabled the floppy drive in the BIOS (i don't have a
floppy drive). The hal daemon was trying to access the floppy drive
because it was enabled in BIOS.
the same thing was probably happening in the older version of
OpenSolaris. But in this release, hal was added as a dependency to the
gdm. so i couldn't get the login screen until hald returned
unsuccessfully. this bug was reported long back:

thanks to everyone who helped...

Hi!
This seems like a situation I've had where the automounter waits for
some networking timemout before ketting GDM start. Are your homes
automounted? Try disabling the automunter?

Nice solution... :)
ok... I tried the text boot. the mounting of zfs filesytem and other
regular stuff take about 40seconds and then i see the console login
prompt for about 1min. and then i am redirected to the graphical
login. there are no error messages at login.....
i guess some unnecessary back ground work goes on at login....

Hum... Solution : shutdown more often than you boot. :)
Seriously... I'm on a 1.5 GB RAM Toshiba Tecra M2... and I find it
boots just as fast as it always has.
Maybe it's waiting on network timeout?

i upgraded my opensolaris from 2008.11 to 2009.06 today and i am
really disappointed with boot process. It is painfully slow. On my
2GB ram system it takes about 2 minutes to boot. is there any way
to increase the speed?
Oh, by the way shutdown is extremely fast. :)
