I forgot, add to that lot a Gigabyte nvida 6600 PCI-express graphics card.

The installation miniroot only contains a 32bit kernel. After installation
the 64bit kernel should be bootet automatically.

Have you tried interrupting the boot process with ^C here? Most of the time
the installer tries to configure network settings and seems to hang until run
into a timeout if no network is attached (or no rarp/bootparms or dhcp server
is responding)

I just did an install of snv_33 by myself on my (very similar machine). I
just did a network install (don't want to waste a DVD for every snv release).

First I did a test install (Reduced Networking Core Support) but forgot that
this install type practically locks you in your machine if not customized
during installation (no NFS, no ssh/ftp/..., so no easy way to get information
in and out the machine).

A second installation is running ATM (Entire Distribution).

A few details on my machine:

1. S2895 mainboard (without SCSI controller)
2. BIOS 1.03
3. Two Opteron 252
4. 4 GB RAM

In the BIOS I left "installed OS" at "WinXP Pro" (I did *not* change it to
"Other")

If installation is finished I can send you some additional information
(smbios output, more BIOS settings, etc.)

Below my boot messages from the install server:

No, I did not. However, whilst I download the DVD image, I created CD#1 from
Solaris 10 update 1 01/06, since I already had the CD images on my hard disk.
Whilst I have not done an install, that looks to go OK without a hitch. But the
Solaris express build 33 does not, but I have not tried interrupting.
