BIOS/UEFI:
 Firmware Maker and Version
1.3
General Notes: System seems to have a BIOS problem (tested BIOS 1.2S and 1.3), installation hangs just after Grub.

As a workaround I'm setting the kernel variable
"dobiosdev" to 0; that skips some of the startup code and
avoids the reset_disk() call. To set the variable:

- boot the kernel with options "-kdv" during first installation.
- at the kmdb prompt "dobiosdev/W 0"
followed by "::cont"

Add a line "set dobiosdev = 0" to /etc/system after you installed Solaris.

CPU Type = [Intel Xeon]
Number of CPUs = [2]
