An often-heard complaint when it comes to Solaris is that its installation takes a long time. Apparantly, work is under way to fix it. "While in a chatroom this morning I learned the reason why Solaris installs are so slow. It turns out that pkgadd is really slow on installing small packages, well it turns out that Solaris installs about 10000 little packages in a full install."

First the Ultra 10 does not support DMA transfers since the controller (CMD 604 I think) only supports PIO modes. And which release of Solaris 10 are you using, because 3/05 did not auto enable DMA (it had to be patched)?
And which installer are you using, the graphical or text mode? I don't understand what is so difficult about asking a few questions, it is no different than a RedHat install using anaconda. The installer might look different, but they both ask essentially the same questions.
