Workaround is to disable the use of DMA data transfers for the Solaris
ata driver.  Edit the boot entry in the initial grub menu and append
",ata-dma-enabled=0" at the end of the line starting with "kernel ...".


The kernel command should look similar to this:

    kernel /boot/platform/i86pc/kernel/unix -B install_media=cdrom,ata-dma-enabled=0
