The 200906 SPARC image is not bootable. It is only used for an Automated Install via the network. There is no LiveMedia image for SPARC. Currently one can perform an OpenSolaris install in one of 2 ways. LiveMedia (via CD or USB) supported for x86 systems only. Automated Install for a network install much like Jumpstart supported for both x86 and SPARC systems. To install OpenSolaris on a SPARC system one has to first set up an Automated Install server on the same network as the systems to be installed.
