Thanks for the references to the net installer.  When I get back to it
on Monday, I'll probably try installing from USB as well.

However, given that S11-Express 2010-11 installs from the CD drive just
fine, and that it can also read the OI-148 CD just fine on this machine, it
seems clear that there's something "wrong" in OI-148, not with the hardware.

So, while a net-install or USB-install are workarounds, I am still looking
for some advice on diagnosing and helping to fix this problem, so future
revs of OpenIndiana will not have this obstacle.  I'm offering our hardware
and a bit of my time toward solving this problem.  We've got six of these
V20z's, and we're also feeling trapped in Oracle-land, so helping to improve
the alternatives to the gold-plated offerings from Oracle seems like a
worthwhile investment.
