If you're creating a live OpenSolaris USB disk from Windows, use the following program: http://devzone.sites.pid0.org/OpenSolaris/opensolaris-liveusb-creator

If you're creating one from a unix-y environment, this should do: http://chonan-en.blog.pid0.org/2009/11/how-to-create-opensolaris-live-usb.html

You should be able to install OpenSolaris from a live CD according to OpenSolaris documentation.

(Disclaimer: I'm not an OpenSolaris user, so I may have missed the mark somewhere.)
