Ah yeah something with that DVD drive does not seem to allow to mount
the live system properly.
Basicly there are one/two files inside the ISO. solaris.zlib and
solaris-misc.zlib (Ancient names from Sun times)
These need to be mounted to /usr and /opt/misc respectively if that is
not possible due to e.g. not finding the DVD drive then the live image
cannot boot.
Interestingly the DVD fails to boot in the same way when I tried to
do so on another machine here - also a Dell but a different model
and much older. Nothing seems wrong with the iso file when I boot it
using VirtualBox. Looking at the files using the Maintenance Mode
account which opens after the failed boot, shows a confusing mass of
files under /devices and links under /dev/disk, so I gave up on
trying to manually mount files from that mode. Perhaps you can
suggest some way forward on that. The boot sequence shows it can
access the files on the DVD as it loads eg loader.conf happily.
