The reason why your AI install does not work and boot is as follow.:
You are using b134 but you are installing from
<AI Jun 16 23:35:03> installation will be performed from
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release (opensolaris.org)
Currently pkg.opensolaris.org/release had 2009.0906 and it will not work.
You should do the AI install from http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev which
had osol_134.
This is why the system cannot boot. Please retry with using
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev and it should work.
I'm using the b134 AI ISO that I downloaded, with the default manifest
that comes on it. Why would that ISO have the wrong repository listed in it?
For more context, see:
https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=11051
The short answer is that the dev build images are not necessarily
guaranteed to work "out of the box."
Are you saying I should edit the manifest in the ISO, and burn a new CD?
You can edit the manifest and put it in a reachable location via HTTP.
You can then specify that location at the beginning of the AI process.
See "creating a custom manifest":

Hi all,
I've been trying to install OpenSolaris on 2 headless servers.
To do this I've tired both the b134 AI, and b134 Text installer media
images.
Niether have been successful.
The Text installer image appears to complete the install, but one of the
attempts to run 'bootadm update-archive' failed. A later execution of
bootadm passed though, and I verified that the boot_archive existed
before rebooting.
This install will only boot to a grub prompt. I'm not familiar enough
with the grub command set to attempt to boot or debug further from this
prompt.
The AI media boots, but all of my attempts to use a serial console at
115200 have failed. I can get the grub and kernel to use that speed, but
I have no way of updating the /etc/ttydefs file so that the login prompt
is redirected to ttya.
I have been able to initate the AI install, and monitor it using a VGA
monitor and keyboard I connected temporarily. The install complete, and
claimed it was successfull. However all I see at boot is the ... from
grub loading the kernel, and nothing further (on the serail or VGA
consoles)
Am I doing something wrong?
Are there any known bugs around this?
What other info can I collect to help resolve this?
