Which version of the Live CD?  The released
OpenSolaris 2009.06 CD, or a current developer
build OpenSolaris Live CD?

Before it started to ask for the user id and password,
did you get the menu prompt asking for the
language used for installation and the keyboard
layout?

When it aborts the installation before asking
for installation language and keyboard layout,
the problem is most likely that the system is
unable to find and mount the LiveCD optical
media (e.g. misssing or broken device driver
for the optical drive).

And in case it aborts after prompting for
language and keyboard layout, the problem
is most likely an unsupported video device
(so that Xorg is unable to start).

What are the exact error messages that
you get?
