I was just thinking about this problem a minutes ago.
My install of OI_147 was also messed up and would not boot after
installing Open Office 3.2 from OpenOfffice.org Oracle site.

Be warned and do not install OO.org 3.2 with install script untill
problem is solved.
(I actually did kill my second OI BootEnvironment twice with this Oracle
OO.org install)

Note to me and all: Make sure you make copy of your working BE with
beadm create _newname_
command, befor einstalling third party programs (Or after install and
after you set everything just how you like.
