Hi Nick,
Not sure what is going on here, but I had successfully installed a PV
Opensolaris guest a while back.
My extra line was:
extra="/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix -B console=ttya,livemode=text"
Then I attached the console when I created the VM, selected the
keyboard/lang and did a vnc setup so I could see the graphical
installer.
I put it in my blog (not trying to advertise) here:
http://www.taiter.com/blog/2009/02/opensolaris-200811-paravirtual.html
This has the VNC setup and the running config that is slightly different
than the install config.
Mind you, this was for Opensolaris 2008.11 and not SNV-128 so I am not
sure if it will work for you.
Good luck,
Tait
