Probably a kernel panic...
Try to boot with kernel options " -kv", so that you can read the
full panic messages. In the grub boot menu edit the boot
commands (type 'e' twice) and append " -kv" at the end of
the kernel$ line. RETURN and 'b' boots.
When it panics it should enter the kernel debugger. In the
debugger you can print a stack backtrace for the panic,
and the kernel messages
::stack
::msgbuf
A wild guess:
There is an existing bug report 6773988 about a similar panic problem
"Kernel panic during boot from livecd, or updated BE (snv_86 -> snv_101a)"
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6773988
Unfortunately there's not much detail in that bug.
It was closed as not reproducible, but contains a link to the
audiohd driver bug 6772631 - so maybe adding boot options
"-B disable-audiohd=true" is a workaround?
