The decision was taken many years ago that on 64bit-capable cpus, Solaris would boot in 64bit mode by default. You can indeed change that on x64 now, if you want. Can you articulate why the decision taken all those years ago is wrong today? Re your actual problem with installation, you've provided barely any information which might help us help you. I find it rather unlikely that your actual physical hard disk would be the cause of your problem, but without any details about your system as a whole, it's impossible to tell. You might want to wander on over to the irc channel #opensolaris on the freenode network, you can generally get good real-time help there. James C.
