I've found an easier way to install openindiana in 64 bit mode. get the package "oi-dev-148-x86.usb.writable-with-dd" from "http://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/148/";
write it with dd if=oi-dev-148-x86.usb.writable-with-dd of=/dev/rdiskX to an attached usb device. after boot the usb device change the grub temporarily: "$ISADIR into amd64" then boot and install then upgrade to the latest version 151a7 bingo. all is done. @openindiana team: can you please make a bootable "oi-dev-157-x86.usb.writable-with-dd" like it exists for "oi-dev-148-x86.usb.writable-with-dd" ?
