Description
RE reported a failure when attempting to install onnv_77 as an xVM paravirtual guest.
The failure manifests itself as bunzip complaining about corrupted files when
attempting to load extra modules at install time.

After booting a 77 xVM guest, I was able to idenfify and mount the HSFS device but
the output of 'ls Solaris_11/Product' on the install media listing approximately 50 packages
where one should see upwards of 400+ pkgs.

I am unable to reproduce this when using HSFS on metal or as an xVM host.

I unpacked the miniroot for build 77, replaced the HSFS filesytem module and
associated mount and ident libs and was able to install build 77.
I saw bzip failure messages trying to install b78 from CD, is this really fixed in 78?
I have successfully tested installing a B78 PV domain on a B78 host using the following command:
virt-install -n solarisPV --paravirt -r 800 --nographics -f /space/solpv/root.img -s 10 -l /solarisdvd.iso 

I grabbed the B78 ISO image from nana.
Work Around
Use netinstall, not ISO or DVD media.
