You need a repository, specifically the client manifest included on the media points at pkg.opensolaris.org http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/caiman/slim_source/usr/src/cmd/auto-install/default.xml Of course you can supply your own AI client manifest once the image is booted (the first grub option will ask you for the location of your own manifest which you can specify as an http url). As for the repository iso, one based on 2009.06 (not very useful for installing from build 130) can be found at: http://genunix.org/dist/indiana/osol-repo-0906-full.iso This is the entire image as a 7.1Gb file. I don't believe they are releasing the repo images for dev builds. But I'm not the authority on that.
