Solaris T5120 Unable to boot from USB

Question

Boot Media Creation

I created a USB boot media on my OS X El Capitan using the following command

dd if=sol-11_3-text-sparc.usb of=/dev/disk3

then i waited and made sure it finished successfully without any interruptions

On my Solaris Box

probe-scsi-all shows, i am assuming this entry "/pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@4/storage@1" is my usb drive

Then i created an alias

Now i am trying to boot from my USB and it's failing

Use show-devs

This listed all the devices and following are subset of them

/pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2 /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,1 /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0 /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@4 /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@4/device@4 /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@4/storage@1 -- This was the one from probe-scsi-all

/pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@4/device@4/hid@1 /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@4/device@4/storage@0 /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@4/device@4/storage@0/disk /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@4/storage@1/disk and -- here's the match one with /disk under it

boot from the last one fixed my issue

Then i create an new alias nvalias usb /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/hub@4/storage@1/disk

To install use

boot usb - install
