On OpenSolaris/amd64 I can get to the boot prompt and type install64,  
then after loading the ramdisk it shows an invalid/unsupported opcode:  
1e - 12 - 1b as well as invalid bits for opcode 0b - 19 - 15.

gdb stacktrace on OSX/ppc:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
