thank you for your answer ... I see to try it with the verbosity settings, need to find a good way, because now Solaris 10 upd8 is installed in the primary partition where I tried Opensolaris - all the descriptions to install Opensolaris in parallel into an unused Solaris slice do not seem to work with the installer (maybe install the Opensolaris to the primary partition and then move it to the slice through some backup / restore mechanism - tedious) ... maybe I have to just kill the Solaris 10 once more ...
