OpenSolaris 2009.06 107 Install

Tried a copy of OpenSolaris 2009.06 Build 107. For some reason, the graphical installer does not start by itself. The following is couple of steps to get the installer up:

login:jack
password:jack
su opensolaris
PATH=/usr/openwin/bin:$PATH
/usr/bin/dbus-uuidgen [--ensure=/var/lib/dbus/machine-id
gdm

Alternate way:

Work-around: Login as user "jack", password "jack" and then
issue the command

    $ svcadm clear nwam

The boot process should continue and start the graphical
desktop.

Once the system is up and running, use the development package tree as below:

pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ opensolaris.org.dev

Comments:

I've had troubles as well trying to boot b107 on my T61p and other various machines. They range from no UI to panics.

Guess I'll have to wait for b109
