My steps are as follow(install via NFS):
1 mkdir disk and mkdir Solaris
2 mount /dev/cdrom /disk/Solaris, it tell me that disk is readonly, that's ok
3 vi /etc/exports and insert "/disk/Solaris *(sync,ro)"
4 service portmap restart
   service nfs restart
   service nfslock restart
   service iptables restart(shuting down the firewall)
5 run virtual machine manager select paravirtualized and set the install media URL like "nfs:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/disk/Solaris"

That's a core mistake . You don't have  mount loop Nevada DVD
and run virt-install. View my previous message for links.
Just in case for xm install view:-
http://librenix.com/?inode=12034
Pygrub may be also fixed at Xen 3.2.1 RHEL 5.1 Dom0
and utilized for install like on Xen 3.2 (3.1) F8 Dom0
View:-

I don't have special instruction for SNV90 DomU install
at Xen 3.2.1 RHEL 5.1 Dom0 via pygrub,regardless
it's much more convenient  then   "xm". Pygrub reads
everything what it needs  from  Nevada ISO image, no need
to copy Solaris kernel and x86.miniroot from DVD to Dom0.
I believe it's RH creature closely connected  with Linux DomU
images created by virt-install. However,  if you'll take a  loook
and python code you'll notice  that  it's  also is supposed to
read UFS (not ZFS) at mean time.

And a result show that: Unable to complete install 'Could not find an installable distribution the install location'
 
I used the same way to install RedHat RHEL5 as a domU successfully, i was puzzled, need i make some changes when installing N90? or N90 can't work well with my enviroment.
 
I may missd some valuable mails and any possible suggestion is appreciated.
