Sounds like a disk geometry issue. It means the MBR has loaded
the first sector from the active partition ready to pass
control to it, but found it's not a PBR, i.e. the partition
doesn't appear to start on the sector it thinks it should.

The fdisk partition editor built into the installer is known
to be rather flaky in this respect. I suggest you shell out
of the installer early on and use the standard Solaris fdisk
to create the Solaris partition (or any other OS's fdisk
which knows how to create a Solaris partition). If there's
already a Solaris partition there and you don't change it in
the installer, it will use it as-is.
