No, I burned the ISO image ok and ended up with a proper bootable DVD. However I am not convinced the image on the Oracle site is correct in the first place ( bold statement ! ). I downloaded it for a 2nd time and got the exact same byte size as my first download. However when I downloaded the OEL 6-2 version instead of 6-3, it installed first time with no problems !

mkcd
mkcd(1M) System Administration Commands mkcd(1M)
NAME
mkcd - create bootable Solaris ISO image
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/mkcd -v [-l label] media-root iso
DESCRIPTION
The mkcd utility takes media-root (the root of an on-disk Solaris install media) as input and creates a bootable Solaris ISO image in the
file iso, using mkisofs(8). The file can then be burned onto a CD/DVD with utilities such as cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1). (Neither mkisofs(8)
nor cdrecord(1) are SunOS man pages.)
Caution -
The directory tree media-root must contain the file boot/grub/stage2_eltorito, which will be written to the media boot sectors. This file
will be modified with some boot information, thus it must be writable. If necessary, first save a copy prior to running this utility.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-l label
Sets label as the label/volume name of the ISO image.
-v
Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
media-root
Top-level directory of an on-disk Solaris install media.
iso
Name of the output file which will contain the resulting ISO image.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Creating an ISO Image and Burning a CD/DVD
The following commands create an ISO image from the content of s10u1 and burn the image to a CD/DVD.
# /usr/bin/mkcd s10u1 s10u1.iso
# /usr/bin/cdrw -i s10u1.iso
