OpenSolaris supports ZFS booting - and installs that way seamlessly by
default.  Solaris 10 does not.  However, there are some hacks to make
Solaris 10 boot a ZFS partition.

OpenSolaris does not support sparse zones - which is a big drawback
compared to s10.  One side effect of that is for every full zone that
is installed on opensolaris, a number of packages must be installed
over the network, and it's done using a tool that is not tolerant of
network delays.
