are those sdhost0 messages also present with omnios?

The problem with OI install media is that the program to discover removable media is somewhat fragile and if it will fail, the install media mount will fail and everything else with it…  to diagnose and fix it, one must first build usb (cd) media, where console login will not depend on install media and you get console login. That is, everything needed to get console login, must be included on boot_archive.

what you can try to do is to boot with -r (boot -r or boot options menu and select reconfigure).
