Daniel,
You are not alone. You can get past this by plugging in a USB mouse and
keyboard, but be warned... I tried the following:
a) Install from LiveCD using USB mouse and keyboard - Installs but boot
hangs after "hostname" message. kernel debug messages don't show
anything useful.
b) Upgrade from 147 to 148 via repository... Still hangs after hostname
message.
c) Install fresh 148 from Repository (Using Moinakg's script
http://moinakg.wordpress.com/2010/11/23/network-installer-for-openindiana).
Same deal.
Since I cannot get past the hang and I cannot get any useful debug
output I'm going to wait for the next release and hope that it will
either be fixed or I can get something useful out of it. That (b)
failed makes me feel that something fundamental is wrong.
I use this laptop as a testbench before upgrading my second machine, a
Sunfire v20z, that runs all my services (file, mail, router, web, etc.)
but I tried it there anyway. It's running 134b, and upgrading via the
repository ended up with other things broken... Something is eating up
80% of the cpu but doesn't show up in the prstat output. The latest
guess is that something is in a tight "spawn child which dies" loop.
Also, I was unable to get apcupsd to run without crashing in the usb
library (even building it again from scratch). I might try (c) to get a
fresh 148 install for testing, but this would take all my services
offline during that time.
Be patent; these things will get fixed. We have a very bright, small,
overworked, developer community that are doing their best. Since people
like you and I are not providing good diagnostic information we just
have to hang tight and wait for someone that can.
Regards,
Gary

Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] No keyboard during install of oi 148
Message-ID:<[email protected]>

Hi group
I tested oi 148 with virtualbox on my macbook and that works
perfect.
Yesterday I wanted to install oi148 on my pc. The following
was:
I could check the entry on the grub menu and start the installation
(live media).
However when I had to select the language or keyboard; I
could not enter anything. I could type on my keyboard - no reaction.
I
have a PS/2-Keyboard.
Does someone had the same experience?
Now I
have installed osol snv134; today evening I want to upgrade it to oi148
this way.
I hope my keyboard is working after that?
Kind
regards
Daniel
