 From snv_77 onwards you can install a guest domain from a DVD/CDROM or
directly from an ISO image. This support will also be available in the
next S10 update release.

Steps needed to use CDROM

- make sure nothing in the service domain is using the CDROM
- Assign the CDROM device to a guest domain
   (e.g. use cdrw -l to find the /dev/dsk/cXtXdXs2 path)
- Boot from slice f of the virtual device that is backed by the CDROM/ISO
   (i.e just like a physical CDROM) e.g. 
/virtual-devices at 100/channel-devices at 200/disk at 1:f
- proceed as usual
