Ross, Thanks for joining the docs-discuss alias and for taking your time to put your install steps into a doc.
Your doc makes me realize that I don't see an obvious place on the opensolaris.org site where we can can post docs contributed by the open source community. A lot of our discussions have been focused on man pages and people wanting to add additional content to some of the manuals of interest to developers working with OpenSolaris. It could be good to have a Documentation link from opensolaris.org where we could host docs like the one you've created. This is just an idea, but I'd like to see what other people think about this.
