I generated a flash archive image of X4150 containing latest Solaris
10- Update 10 with latest patches and stored it on another system.

Using the same installation DVD, I tried to verify the image I had
just generated - using "flash" as the the data source. Installation
was for ZFS filesystem, data transfer over FTP. In the "Solaris
Install Window", a progress bar showed the 3.6GB being transferred,
and that window closed after the last transfer. A new terminal window
then opened. The system did not reboot automatically as it normally
does when the installation is completed.

The "Solaris Install Console" showed the progress of this
installation, the following being the last few lines-
Starting Solaris Installation ...
Solaris installation program exited
Opening interactive terminal window ...


Nothing was mounted at /a at this time. Reboot got me into grub>

Tried twice, with the same results. Any hints?
Why didn't the grub menu get installed?
Where are the installation scripts when I am booted off the
installation DVD?
THANK YOU.
