I didn't have any luck with my Thinkpad T61p with the new liveCD image 
burned to a DVD.  It couldn't find my built-in keyboard or trackpad.  
Connecting a USB mouse and keyboard got me further, but it hung later on 
in the boot process.  When I upgraded to OpenIndiana via ips I had no 
issues, so I guess I'll have to wait until the latest packages are 
available.  I used the iso image to install in Virtualbox so it 
shouldn't be corrupt.
