I think I can somewhat confirm Rainer's problems with NWAM:

On another hand, an oi_151a8 which I installed a month ago
for my brother's home NAS (on a physical box) and which is
accessible to me only by internet through an SSH tunnel and
later openvpn (initiated from that box to my public server),
works surprisingly reliably with an all-auto config via
NWAM+DHCP. So... YMMV :-\
Hope these clues lead somewhere,

Well, I think I got the root cause of my installation's problems
with NWAM: it was indeed the split-rooting. Updating my published
procedures with fixes now. Details follow:
NWAM's SMF script /lib/svc/method/net-nwam uses /usr/bin/nawk,
/usr/bin/sort, cat, pkill (over a dozen overall) - but neither of
the svc:/network/physical instances do actually depend on the /usr
filesystem to be available (as part of filesystem/root service
for ZFS-based installs).
This would be even worse for networked installations which might,
like in the olden days, try to mount the /usr filesystem from an
NFS server - now they won't get the network in the first place.

The /lib/svc/method/net-physical method script explicitly depends
only on /usr/bin/cut from the /usr filesystem, but also references
nawk, sort and cat - perhaps as part of its included scripts.
However, it does manage to start up and assign DHCP addresses:

Overall, I am now testing and fixing my instructions for the split-root
installation, and will file an RFE for the networking service to get
proper dependencies. After all, this is a trivial step (at least for
systems with a root filesystem which does not depend on networking).
For Rainer: if you do get to reproduce your problems after a proper
wizard-based installation of OI and will help us help you debug them,
please also attach the outputs of SMF logs of the networking startup
(in /etc/svc/volatile/*physical* and /var/svc/log/*physical*). Maybe
they would contain errors like those I hit above and would help us
all understand your problems' causes.
