There is a FAQ:

http://www.sun.com/download/faq.xml

By downloading this to your hard drive it creates the file:

sol-10-u3-ga-sparc-v1.iso

This file can be copied onto a CD, which naturally doesn't produce a
bootable CD,
nor does pkginfo show any "packages in a container":


The download comes as five CD images. If you plan on installing from CD, you burn the **images** to CD; note that this is not the same as burning the file to CD!!!! If you are going to install from DVD, "cat" the five images, in order, and burn them to DVD. See the docs for whatever you use to burn CDs/DVDs for information about burning images.
Basically, you are not creating a file system on the CD with a volume label, root directory, etc. The "image" is a "canned" file system.
