There's a blueprint on www.sun.com (sorry, don't have the pointer offhand) on how to build a customized version of the Solaris install media, which is the best answer right now; the install media is after all a somewhat limited form of a live CD. In this project, I expect we'll start including SPARC support once a project known as "newboot SPARC" integrates; it introduces archive-based booting similar to the x86 method and will thus be much closer to the work we've done here and is a prerequisite for ZFS boot support on SPARC.
