Between Building A Solaris 10 Recovery DVD - Phoronix and placing the sysidcfg file in /etc of the miniroot (as opposed to following the default symlink to /tmp/root/etc/sysidcfg), it's reading that config. It looks like I had an issue with the profile. I changed my rules file to 'any - begin profile finish' and fleshed out the network config in sysidcfg.

Now, after booting, I get "An error has occurred in configuring the system. Please go back and check your settings." /var/sadm/system/logs/sysidtool.log is the only log file I can find that seems relevant. It has a line "get_net_ipaddr: returend FAILURE: e1000g0 is probably already 0.0.0.0" 'ifconfig -a' agrees... e1000g0 became unnumbered. If I use ifconfig to bring it up, that doesn't get me anywhere. Earlier in sysidtool.log, there are multiple references to e1000g0 having the correct IP address. It appears that something is making it unconfigure or renumber the interface and give up.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.
