I wonder about zipping an image of an installed filesystem, then copy (as in cat image | gzip -d | dd of=/dev/dsk/rdsk/...) that onto the drive (or pool, if plausible). It would be faster than writing the 1000's files individually. You still need package technology but you could get most of the way there in a single shot for a fresh install - especially for standard configurations.
