i'm concerned about the "on the first boot" bit above.  i think that
condition may be hard to detect due to zones life cycle.  some examples:
- if a detach and attach a zone and then boot it, is that a first boot?
- if a detach and attach a zone on another host and then boot it, is
  that a first boot?
- if a install a zone via cloning of another zone and then boot it, is
  that a first boot?

it seems that above you've already specified the default behavior for
all subsequent boots.  so is there any reason this same behavior can't
be applied to all boots, without having to identify a "first boot"?
