Hi,

AI in 11.2 beta is broken for x86. I haven't got around to trying SPARC yet.

I can't make it this month, but I'll talk to Nathan, I can do a quick run
through AI at a future meeting.

On a related note, I've been putting together an OSS deployment engine
(written in Ruby) to deploy multiple OSes using Solaris as the install
server. It's still a bit buggy, but it's over here:
