This means that OpenIndiana doesn't have a driver for the DVD drive. (The
early
boot uses BIOS routines, but as soon as the OS starts properly you need a
real driver.)

You don't say what hardware you have got, but one thing to check is that
the DVD (and
disk drive) isn't handled by some form of raid, such as Intel RST; if
there's a raid mode,
it needs to be disabled.
