It appeared to work well until about 80% in the installation where it got stuck after this error is dmesg - vmwrite error: reg 6802 value 1c334000 (err 17408) I saved the VM state and later tried reloading it, but that resulted in recursive BAD TRAPS inside Solaris. After a while the host got stuck - no user inputs were accepted, but the box was pingable. Had to hard reset it. This was on a Core Duo Mac Mini.
