Hope this helps.
I fetched my Blade 100 (should be close enough to a Blade 150) from
storage and gave both the latest sparc64 ISO image ([1], dated
2018-02-16 23:09) at Adrian's space and the official one ([2], dated
2018-02-07 20:35) a try today. In contrast to what you experienced, I
didn't experience any issues with the network configuration done by the
installer so far.

Installation was done in normal mode for both images. I stopped the
installation with the official one after network configuration succeeded.
What installation mode did you use?
We have the same OBP version and I assume apart from the CPU most of our
hardware should be identical. A difference is that your Blade 150 seems
to use a MAC address from the 08:00:20 block, whereas mine uses a MAC
address from the 00:03:ba block. I always assumed that MAC addresses
from the 08:00:20 block were only used with "older" Sun machines. But
maybe the Blade 100 and 150 were available with both. Shouldn't make a
difference, but was unexpected.
Is there a chance that your local DHCP setup is not working properly?
Or maybe I misunderstood you at this point:
Did you expect an automatic configuration with DHCP from the installer
or were you manually configuring IP addresses in the installer dialogues
and it couldn't or didn't configure your network interface properly?
I always use DHCP so never tested if the manual network configuration
done via the installer works.
Cheers,
Frank
