I've not tried Indiana, but have had similar problems on my macbook pro 
for SXDE. I did get it installed by using the diskutil under Macos to 
create the partitions, For some reason I needed a small amount in a 
partition between the MacOS and the Solaris one.

Some notes on how to do this are on Paul Mitchell's blog - it might be 
worth trying before installing Indiana
