Solaris currently does not support running from a ZFS / (root) file system. 
There are hacks one can pull to do this, but currently it can only be done on 
an OpenSolaris distro (like Nevada or Solaris Express) and not on Solaris 
proper.

Work to get the Solaris kernel booting off of a ZFS file system or even a 
mirror is in progress.

Your best bet is to configure the two drives using the Solaris volume manager 
(SVM) and UFS for the / filesystem. This will give you near single disk write 
and RAID0 (stripe) read performance, as well as redundancy / reliability.

If you feel particularly bold and adventurous, you might want to try 
configuring the disk swap slices as part of a zfs pool (see zpool(1M)). 
Otherwise, use SVM to mirror swap slices as well.
