Solaris 11 Express - freezes on startup!

Solaris 11 Express is beta? I thought it was just the free community version of Solaris 11, which hasn't been released yet. This isn't a server that needs super 100% reliability, I operate the business by myself. I have an 8 year old Celeron 2ghz system which runs more reliably though.
All I need is a reasonably reliable OS which will do software RAID and host a few VMs in VirtualBox.
Strange thing is that I actually had it boot before. I left it long enough at the screen where it freezes, and it rebooted itself. After that, it started up fine and I was able to log in. Shortly after though, it reset and I was back to square one.
Edit: I have the original Solaris 11 Express CD which I can boot off and run commands, but I have no real idea what to do from there... I would much rather not re-install!
