Required steps:
1. Boot from LiveCD. (After booting I disabled some services like AI,LDOM which are not necessary on my Ultra).
2. Configure network (plumb interface and enable ssh).
3. Download and run zfsinstall_sparc script (i.e. ./zfsinstall_sparc c4t1d0s0)
4. Reboot.
Sample output:
root@opensolaris:/jack# ./zfsinstall c4t1d0s0
Test TI started in real mode...
Target type specified: BE
BE target prepared successfully
BE target created successfully
Starting to copy data from UFS root to /zfsroot - this may take some time.

Thanks for all the great work! I've almost pulled all my hair out using the OpenSolaris AI installer for sparc.
Trying your install script now on my SunBlade 150.
Also: come on sun... you have the packages, make a basic bootable test installer for sparc!
Thanks!
Good stuff as usual Alex. I need resolve some challenges with getting IPS packaging to ignore dependency.
Hi. Thanks. I've already installed the OS and now it's working. Now, we would like to have the GUI up (CDE or Java Desktop). Do you have any links on how to? Thanks.
Hi. I'm newbie in openSolaris especially in Sparc. Do you have any idea how to setup the xinit/xorg/XWindow for openSolaris Sparc ( with the live CD ). Thanks.
William:
LiveCD (AI CD) does not contain X system,
you need install it (and Gnome WM) from pkg.opensolaris.org. Also success depends on what video card do you have.
The filesystem seems to be read-only for me. It tells me I cannot overwrite /etc/nsswith.conf because the file is read-only. Also, I currently don't have access to an IP address associated with a single website. If I try with milax.org (http://82.140.72.4/files/zfsinstall_sparc), it doesn't work.
Guillaume:
You're right, try this url for wget: http://72.5.123.6/source/raw/milax/sparc/opensolaris/zfsinstall_sparc
Hi, I only work on this a few minutes a week, but I managed to download the script. I was wondering what was the assumption about the existing partitioning of the hard drive. Can I run the script on a hard drive that already has an install of Solaris and is thus already sliced? If yes, do I simply select the first slice on that hard drive (c1t0d0s0)?
Guillaume:yes
hi,
your opensolaris sparc live cd and your script for install it is ok, the script not work with efi label disk.
You must have SMI label disk for use your script.
Do you can write this in the list of prerequisite?
