*** If You do not have installed OpenSolaris, only Linux: ***

it’s a long way around, but using no more than the ISO image, you can
install OpenSolaris into Virtualbox (all for free), and in virtualbox, the
below method works fine.
So if your goal is to actually create a USB key capable of installing
opensolaris, this will get you there.
If you just want to experiment with OpenSolaris, much simpler to just use
VirtualBox and play with it in there.



If You allready have installed OpenSolaris:

Here is the set of instructions to create a live USB stick from the live
CD that you have downloaded.

Step 1. Install distro-construct.
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWdistro-const

Step 2. Generate the USB image from CD image.
$ pfexec usbgen o.iso o-usb.img /tmp/osol

Step 3. Copy the generated USB image on to the USB stick.
$ pfexec usbcopy o-usb.img

On executing the above command, you will be shown the list of removable
media and asked to select the one to use with usbcopy. If you have
inserted only one USB media, you will see only one entry to choose from.
Please note that you may have to unmount the USB media from your GNOME
file manager or command line, before usbcopy starts.

Once usbcopy completes, your OpenSolaris live USB sticks are ready to boot
a live environment and perform installation.
