this is indeed the right place :-)

It seems you might be running into incompatibility between
installadm(1M) tools (seems they are based on 2009.06 release - build 111b2)
and AI image you use (based on build 111) - please see attached flag day
for details.
In general, 2009.06 installadm tools are not backward compatible with older
AI images:

http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/2009.06/AIinstall/faq.html#back

In order to verify this is the issue you are encountering, what was
the location where you obtain the AI image ?

2009.06 AI image (based on build 111b) could be obtained from
following location:

Thank you,
Jan
