Solaris 10 v 11/06 in VPC2007 kind of works but I"m stuck...

I just downloaded the latest published CD:s from SUN (version 11/06)
and tried installing into a new guest.
The guest was given 513 Mb of RAM and 16 Gb hdd.

But it stopped cold after displaying the copyright screen. Same as my
previous attempts with earlier Solaris releases.

But I used the info at http://vpc.visualwin.com/index.aspx to get to
this useful site:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=10744#10744

So I used the hints there and did the following to get much further
along. I used downloaded CD ISO images rather than the DVD ISO:

1. At the first selection screen I pressed the 'e' key to edit the
options. Then I selected the top line and again pressed 'e' to edit
it.

2. I added '-kdv' at the end and hit <enter> to finish the edit

3. Next I hit 'b' to continue the booting

4. After a while the boot stopped with a command prompt

5. I typed '::bp execmap' and hit <enter>

6. Next I typed ':c' and hit <enter>

7. The boot continued a while and then stopped again

8. I repeated steps 6-7 for 12 more times

9. Then at the next stop I typed '::delete all' and hit <enter>

10. Then I typed ':c' and hit <enter> for the last time

11. Now the boot proceeded for a while until there was a selection
screen for the mode where I hit '1' to select Solaris (the first
option).

12. Now the install continued until it displayed something like
"Loading Java" or similar. Now I almost thought that it had died again
but I let it sit there for about 10 minutes and then it switched to a
graphics window!

13. Once into the graphics the install went on with some wizard style
questionnaire, which I tried to answer as best I could.

14. Now I am finally almost there and then I got stuck when it told me
of the importance of removing the CD I installed from, so I released
the CD drive. Should not have done this....
Because now when I click Next it looks for a CD and no matter what I
put in there it says that it is the wrong one!

I have tried all of the downloaded ISO images v1..v5 and lang all to
no avail.

Is there anyone here who have any idea what to do (seve for
reinstalling and NOT removing the CD) to get it going further???

And btw, when Solaris asks for the domain during the network setup,
what should I enter here? The domain this computer will belong to or
the computer name itself?
It also complains that my network DNS servers are wrong (how can it
know) even though I entered the ADSL ISP DNS servers, which are the
ones my own PC uses.

It now feels like I'm almost done setting the thing up but I only used
CD1 so far.
Any pointer towards the above welcome.
