You need to get the 7.3.2.2 patch disk for Solaris 2.5. It makes the installer considerably more flexible.

As a temporary measure (for Unix), create a link like this:

   ln -s $ORACLE_HOME /app/oracle/product

where $ORACLE_HOME is where you want to put the software and let the installer go to town. You will face similar problems with 7.3.2.1 if you ask the installer to create the database for you (wierd mountpoints).
