I've been waiting for long for VBox 1.5.4 and the announced Solaris improvements, but unfortunately I'm not even able to start the installation (I was able with 1.5.2).
I'm using SunOS 5.11 build 70, I'm trying every kind of installation (Interactive desktop, interactive console, etc...) but it keeps hanging with "Setting up Java. Please wait..."
Cpu keeps working for ages, Ram is almost completely filled up, but nothing happens.
Any hints?

Solaris issues (again)
I'm actually running a P4 2.4Ghz with 1GB ram and Win2K as host, so I think I'll have to switch to another machine.
What I find curious is that with vbox 1.5.2 i was able to successfully end Solaris installations in the same machine.
Same problem now with Indiana, which is Opensolaris based.
(In case it can help, I have the same issues using Qemu).
I was interested in virtualizing Solaris for didactic purposes.
However, you guys at virtualbox are doing a good job. Keep up the good work.

Solaris Express Developer Edition 70b
This requires a disk image larger than 8 gigs...FYI. I tried to create an image with 12 and it died on Fdisk with:
ERROR: Could not create Solaris disk label (VTOC)
ERROR: Could not label disks
ERROR: Could not update disks with new configuration
ERROR: System installation failed
It did make it into the new graphical installer though; unfortunately since I had to turn off AMD-V to actually get it to quit barfing when it tried the initial device configuration, it only detected the emulated hardware as a 32-bit environment and therefore didn't try to install the 64-bit version of the os.
I should probably point out I'm running VB 1.5.4 on Vista Ultimate 64-bit
