As a point of comparison, booting from a Live CD with build 110 on the same system took: 28s after selecting the boot option from GRUB menu to see SunOS banner 12s before I got a language prompt 3m before the desktop fully loaded I should also note that the CD spun down and the system paused for about 30 seconds or so after selecting the input language until a message about sendmail complaining about my unqualified hostname came up, after that the CD-ROM spun back up and it continued booting.
