If you don't care what's currently in the 60g extended partitition, you can use solaris 'fdisk' while booted to the OpenSolaris 2008.11 LiveCD to delete that 60GB partition and the create a 20Gb Solaris2 partition. The installer will then find that 20Gb Solaris2 partition and happily install onto it.
