Ok, an update to this.
Summary: Current build ISOs can be made to boot.
I'm now running Parallels' release version (build 1848) and it
seems they have resolved at least some of the problems, but the
significant ones I mentioned earlier in the thread are still there.
However, I think I have a workaround for the more significant one,
where boots from recent builds can't mount the CDROM, even though
they boot from it.

Seems that Solaris 10 6/02 is also plagued by the same issues. The
installer just hung.
If you boot the ISO image (I'm using the DVD image) then press "e"
at the grub menu, then "e" again, you can edit the kernel line to
change:
kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -B install_media=cdrom
to:
kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -B install_media=cdrom,atapi-cd-
dma-enabled=0

Cool, I'm trying this now with Solaris 10 6/06 on my new 17" MBP
with the release version of parallels. I'll report later to see if
it works, but so far, it's father down the road than it was without
the additional option.
I haven't tried with Sol10 06/06 but I can report that build 41 of
Nevada works fine with this fix in place. I did have to make sure
that the kernel command is edited for every boot, including boot from
the installed image. Once the new installation is up you can, of
course, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to avoid having to do this manually
every time.
