That totally worked, thank you very much.
I have now successfully installed a svn_77 based DomU from dvd iso.
I did a minimal/core system install. My DomU configuration files can be found
at the end of this message.
At first, the network interface (xnf0) didn't work:
_________________________________________________________________
# xm create -c solaris-install
...
Using install cd in /dev/dsk/c0d6p0
Using RPC Bootparams for network configuration information.
Attempting to configure interface xnf0...
Skipped interface xnf0
Reading ZFS config: done.
...
_________________________________________________________________
"Skipped interface" it said. Other than that, my boot messages were exactly
identical to yours.
In the setup, doing "Networked: Yes" obviously didn't work, so I installed with
"Networked: No" and completed the installation, then booted into the fresh
install, and applied the "TCP/UDP Checksum" fix:
_________________________________________________________________
# echo "set xnf:xnf_cksum_offload = 0" >> /etc/system
# bootadm update-archive
updating /platform/i86pc/boot_archive...this may take a minute
updating /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive...this may take a minute
# reboot
_________________________________________________________________
(I boot with pygrub, ramdisk = '/platform/i86pc/boot_archive')
Don't know if that fix is necessary for svn77 but it didn't bring xnf0 to life:

I also tried with:
# ifconfig xnf0 plumb
# ifconfig 192.168.0.230 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
Still no ping.
I was using this in the DomU config:
vif = [ 'mac=ed:b7:8e:10:3b:b7, bridge=xenbr0' ]
And this behaved exactly the same:
vif = [ 'mac=ed:b7:8e:10:3b:b7' ]
Then, for some mysterious reason, this worked:
vif = [ '' ]
I still have to do that "plumb" thing, but it works:

Then I tried with
vif = [ 'mac=00:11:22:33:44:55' ]
And it worked too, with the "plumb" trick.
I don't know (yet) exactly what that "plumb" thing is or what it does. I found
it here:
