Dave, Oh, I meant during installation procedure from RAM.
I validated the MD5 signature with my download images (so, the downloaded images are good for both the computers I downloaded to). The issue I discovered is that something changed in the actual installer for OSOL2008.11-b99 ISOs. The images are fine, but I can't Live install this on my older Pentium 4 computers - but my AMD workstation loads the image fine. My two older P4 test machines load OSOL2008.05 and OSOL-2008.11-b97/98 just fine - but not OSOL-2008.11-b99. So the images from genunix are fine and my downloads are valid images. Time to debug the installer changes from b98 to b99.
