That doesn't seem to be OpenSolaris! It's Solaris 10.

There could be lots of reasons why you get that error:
- boot archive is too big, does not fit into the BIOS memory block
starting at 0x100000

OpenSolaris "direct boot" might have improved this.
In case the "/bin/mkisofs" utility is present, "bootadm update-archive"
might create a smaller boot archive using an iso9660 filesystem than the
ufs filesystem boot archive that is created when mkisofs isn't found.
How much memory is installed in the machine?
How much "Upper memory" is reported by GRUB?
- BIOS I/O errors are not reported; instead the misleading error 28 is printed
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6387379
- boot archive is corrupted; when grub decompresses the corrupted data
no error is detected, until grub attempts to write to memory that isn't in the
BIOS memory map.
