I am attempting to follow these instructions for creating a OpenSolaris system 
that boots from a ZFS root file system:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/zfsboot-1?a=view

The instructions state that you must use the Solaris interactive text 
installer. The 2009.06 release of OpenSolaris seems to have separate media, 
instead of having the text installer as a grub option:

I am attempting to install into a VMware Workstation v6.5.3 guest. When I boot 
the above ISO, all I get is the grub prompt, i.e. no grub menu. Am I doing 
something wrong? I've tried Google'ing, but my Google-Fu is weak. Could someone 
please point me in the right direction? 

Thank you.
