One suggestion would be to not cross post to admin and general and answer
the question sent back to you on the admin list, but that's just me.

What's the *exact* error you got, and how *exactly* did you invoke
initdb?

Hmm... I think that's actually bash generating the error. It seems to
be unhappy with initdb for some unknown reason. It might be worth
trying with another shell (I think solaris installs ksh or csh by
default).
