I am trying to install Solaris 10 on a Netra T1 with 320mb
of memory and 2 18gb disks. I go through the process
of basically taking the defaults and providing network
information.

It goes through the process of installing and when it boots
I get the following:

Netra t1 (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.10.24 ME, 320 MB memory installed, Serial #12757538.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:c2:aa:22, Host ID: 80c2aa22.

Executing last command: boot
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/scsi@2/disk@0,0:a File and args:
SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic 64-bit
Copyright 1983-2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.

WARNING: exec(/sbin/init) failed (file not found).

(Could not start init) Program terminated
ok

scsi-probe-all reveals:
