I created a new Virtual machine and was trying to install Solaris
What is the hardware? What virtualisation platform is it? VMware?
I assume the box is x86 (Intel, AMD, or similar)?
If your box has 4GB memory total it doesn't mean that all of it will be available to a virtual machine 'guest' created on it. There will be a default memory allocation for a new virtual machine which may not be enough. See your virtualisation platform documentation and try to jack it up to at least 3GB.
(RISC=Reduced Instruction Set Computer)
Don't think that's what you've got if it's x86 based.
