Thanks, Erik! I tried the createSolarisDevkit12.4.sh script, but none of the packages in that list exist in the package manager at those specific versions, so it just fails. I basically had to make my own list of packages from scratch using the existing one as a guideline.
Zones sound like a cleaner solution to me, but I don't know enough about them to know how to install a specific base OS version. All the docs I find just install the same version as the 'host'. I'll need to do a bunch more research, it seems...
