corrupted iso??  Can you:
  # mount -o loop /usr/lib/xen-solaris/sol-nv-b78-x86-dvd.iso /mnt

Usually, you want to put the disk your going to boot
off of first on the disk line.  It shouldn't matter
in your case since you copied out the kernel and
ramdisk. You can have left them in the iso and just
referred to them.

disk = [ 'file:/usr/lib/xen-solaris/sol-nv-b78-x86-dvd.iso,6:cdrom,r', 
'file:/xen/solaris.img,0,w' ]
