I'm almost certain this, as a later poster in this thread suggested, is 
a disk labeling issue.  Solaris requires a different sort of disklabel 
than Linux, BSD, et al.  At some point in the install process you should 
be able to get to a terminal; there, use 'format' to write a new label 
to the disk, then restart the installation and all should be well. 
Sorry, but I don't have any Solaris installations at the moment to look 
at the semantics of the 'format' command for you, but it's menu-driven 
and should be not too hard to sort out.
