You can run the installer in verbose debug mode, in order to capture more information about the installation in the install_log file.
To boot SPARC systems in debug mode, boot the system with the install_debug boot argument.
For network installations:
ok> boot net:dhcp - install install_debug
For installations using media:
ok> boot cdrom - install install_debug
To boot x86 systems in debug mode, edit the GRUB menu and add the install_debug=enable boot property to the kernel line of the entry you want to boot.
kernel$ ... -B install_media=...,install_debug=enable
Alternatively for x86 systems, you can preset debug mode on the AI server by using the -b <property=value> option with the installadm create-service and installadm create-client commands. This option presets that boot property in the GRUB menu for that service or client.
# installadm create-client -e MAC_address -n service_name \ -b install_debug=enable
