Description 
As of snv_109, all attempted (wizard-based) GUI installs fail as follows:

  Discovering additional network configuration...

  /usr/X11/bin/X /tmp/root/usr/openwin/bin/Xsun is not a valid X server

I don't think the CR 6805131 Xserver script changes handle the "/tmp/root" prefix on an otherwise "known" X server binary, when checking that the path of the server is recognized.  Alan Coopersmith also suggested CR 6610692 could be involved.
Gui installs on x86 haven't worked since build 107.  I did try a few anyway, and instead of the typical gray screen and hang, I got the following message, which is similar to what sparc is seeing:

/usr/X11/bin/X: /tmp/root/usr/X11/bin/Xorg is not a valid X server
Work Around 
Revert to text-mode install.
