You are quite correct, the s and z are too close for my fat fingered typing. As for you workaround, I readily admit that if you are patient enough to drop into the debugger and type a few lines of what I cannot remember and refuse to write down, Solaris will indeed boot up. I don't, personally, consider that level of trouble worthwhile. Hopefully, someone will produce a fix for this and those of us running hp/compaq laptops can join the OpenSolaris laptop user community without having to type jibberish in order to boot-up. BTW: I appreciate your efforts and those of others that identify ways and means of working around issues like this one. I am a bit suprised that this issue hasn't been addressed by someone in SUN since it makes OpenSolaris effectively useless for a whole class of laptops.
