what is the reason why there is no osol-1002-XXX-sparc.iso so far?
Because the text mode installer isn't done yet, and most SPARC
systems supported by opensolaris wouldn't be able to use the
graphical installer.

hmm -- is this of no priority for osol-1002 (final)? as there will be no SXCE 
releases (sparc bootable media) anymore 
(http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-announce/2009-August/001220.html)
 i thought osol is going to be its replacement...

i feel an unstable/unfinished osol-1002-XXX-sparc.iso would be better then just 
no bootable media for sparc.
Text mode installer is a priority. There are a number of engineers actively working on it, we can only get there so fast. This is an open project and you are welcome to contribute in anyway you can. The details are here:
