Thanks dbaxps, your comments made me realize of my mistake, I simply downloaded the wrong ISO image. I was trying to install sol-nv-b98-x86-dvd.iso as DomU on a "OpenSolaris 2008.05 snv_86_rc3 X86" Dom0 which will not work at all.
Now I downloaded http://dlc.sun.com/osol/opensolaris/2008/05/os200805.iso and I followed the instructions on http://blogs.sun.com/mrj/entry/installing_opensolaris_on and it works fine. Appreciate your help. Vic. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
