illumos based OpenIndiana

Update 26.02.2011.
There is also a USB image. You can use it, quite conveniently, with dd tool on Linux or with OpenSolaris USB Live creator on Windows written some time ago by Hiroshi Chonan.
To write it to USB stick with dd, you have to prepend a special header, which you can download here. Just do:
wget http://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/2G.header
wget http://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/148/oi-dev-148a-x86-20110223-1.usb
cat 2G.header oi-dev-148a-x86-20110223-1.usb >> oi-dev-148a-x86-20110223-1-header-prepended.usb
dd if=./oi-dev-148a-x86-20110223-1-header-prepended.usb of=/path/to/your/usb/device (ie. /dev/sdb)


Of course, with OpenSolaris based distributions, you can use /usr/bin/usbcopy from pkg:/install/distribution-constructor

Cheers!
