You might find this blog[1] to be a good starting point. It's not a hands off jumpstart - but it is as simple as possible and will get you started. Ignore the steps that pertain to ZFS boot (downloading the ZFS boot tools and patching the boot image and the ZFS boot specific profile entries). And you probably know your way around this stuff better than I do! Let me know how this works for you and email me offlist if I can help.
