I am in need of installing Sun's distribution of OpenSolaris (ideally
OpenSolaris Preview (Build 130)) on a remote system currently running Solaris

a disc or on-site network install are out the window. Unfortunately,
Well, I've gone as far as I can tonight.
Here are the entries for the start up...
findroot (pool_rpool,0,a)

foreground d25f00
background 115d93
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphic
module$ /platform/
HTH
There is no problem to help, but there must be appropriate informations
available and a little "user work" ;-)

Well, I got further. I at least managed to get the graphical window up and
select the operating system.
It still failed, however,

You wrote "Solaris 2009-6" and it's about 6 months old. What shows this command
:
cat /etc/release
as you have external USB disk it will be fine to see outputs of these commands :
tail /var/adm/messages (after connection of external disk)
pfexec mdb -k (and type ::prtusb -v)
cfgadm -v

It didn't show in rmformat.

Did you try latest build?
Do you have latest BIOS on your laptop?
Where are dmesg, prtconf, prtdiag, ::prtusb from mdb, usbdevfs -v, cfgadm -v,

Installing on the 8gig card didn't work...

Just learned about this...

The installation on the other memory card is scheduled to take about an hour.
This is going to be interesting.

I'm left with one of two conclusions...
a) The SD card has gone faulty.
b) I didn't wipe the card sufficiently after the first installation went wrong.
... to test this, I'm installing on a separate 8gig card now.

Got the partition mounted under live cd.
There are no log files in /var/sadm/system/logs/install
There is no menu..lst in /boot/grub/
How did the install, itself, complete with no problems or errors?
I am at a complete loss.

A geometry (hd0) gives the following...
drive 0x80 C/H/S = 1024/255/63, the number of sectors = 16514064, LBA
partition num 0, [BSD/SOLARIS sub-partitions immediately follow]
BSD/SOLARIS partition num: 'a', zio_read_data failed
Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
BSD/SOL
I also know that hd0,0 is correct (or must be correct) as the find command
causes the light to flash. changing the first 0 results in "no such disk
drive," changing the second 0 results in "no partition."
So, I'm stuck in a corner.

This is strange.
I try...
root (hd0,0)
... it comes back with ...
filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xbf
Obviously when I then try a find /boot/grob/stage1 it fails
It is as if it doesn't know what partition is what.
Any ideas please?

I don't even get the splash screen.

Have you tired with fresh install of 130??
It seems there are a lot of problems with upgrades to 130. I had some problems

This sound very similar to my problem.
