[ug-bosug] Installation assistance required...URGENT

[Manish Chakravarty]

Did you try with a recent build? Build 60 is the most recent one, IMHO.
You could try with Solaris Express Developer Edition
I recommend it because

1) It works on all the systems i have tried
2) Has a development environment setup, with SUN Studio
3) Nexenta is not that stable.
