For the LiveCD:
not sure if it's affected, but when you do the live install, have you
unplugged and re-inserted the keyboard/mouse, possibly in different
sockets ... I know our v20z's were a little shaky ...
otherwise, if you have the ILOM working then it might well be worth
trying to control the keyboard and mouse over that interface.

Hi Gary,
Try the text-installation version using OI_148 instead and provide
some feedback based on that.

Hi,
I'm getting very frustrated with OpenIndiana installation
issues.? It works fine in a VirtualBox environment, but
I haven't been able to try it on bare metal.

I have it running perfectly on a v40z and that was an upgrade from
134. It was a very clean 134 install though, I believe srss and
sunstudio were the only 'additional' packages I had install in 134.
