Not enough obviously. I tried it with 512MByte! :-( I increased this value to 812 MByte and boomh, it worked. However, I used Solaris 11/07 for my second attempt. No idea, whether this makes a difference. I will give 05/08 another try today. However, I have Solaris 10 in a virtual box now and I even was able to setup Host Interface Networking using OpenVPN, so the machine is reachable from the outside world. This is a big step to a much easier life!! Oh, the disk problem has probably othing to do with the memory. I had this problem with the higher RAm as well first. After clicking back and forth a bit it finally presented a disk to install on. No idea, what the problem was. I will try to reproduce this today, but there seems to be a little issue with the disks in the installer in conjunction with VirtualBox. Thanks a lot!
