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
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

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
