Well, liveupgrade worked a charm, I'm now running Nevada build 36, under Parallels beta 3. Must admit I'm a bit confused, the ISO on the disk wouldn't work properly using standard Solaris install, but using Liveupgrade it was fine....
If you're curious, I formatted my disk as follows : Partition 0 : 8GB (This was the original Solaris 10 01/06 Partition 3 : 8GB (For the new environment) Partition 7 : 4GB For export home. So whilst running Solaris from partition 0, type the following : cd /cdrom/Sol11_X86/Solaris_11/Tools/Installers ./liveupgrade20 lucreate -A 'Nevada Build 36' -m /:/dev/dsk/c0d0s3:ufs -n build36 luupgrade -u -n build36 -s /cdrom/Sol11_X86 luactivate -s build36 where: /cdrom0/Sol11_X86 is the location of your ISO image build36 is the name of your alternate boot environment and Liveupgrade does the rest, even editing your GRUB menu for you. It took about 2 hours to do the upgrade but I could still use the system whilst it did it's work. Now going forward I can install future releases either by overwriting slice 0 or slice 3 - depending on which version I think is more stable ! After the Easter break, I'll get the BrandZ aware ISO image and have linux containers, running under Solaris on Mac OSX !
