Yes - you can use legacy Solaris installer - it is invoked when you choose the second GRUB entry: "Solaris Express" When SXDE installer is removed in build 91, legacy installer will become the only possibility how to install SXCE release and will be default choice in GRUB menu.

As far as I can say, stability of current version of new Indiana installer is pretty good and I can confirm that robustness and stability are definitely requirements to be met before legacy installer (now being delivered with SXCE) is replaced with the new one.
