You can limit the amount of memory that ZFS uses for its cache (the ARC - Adaptive Replacement Cache) as described here: http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide#Limiting_the_ARC_Cache In fact the live CD does just that in order to allow OpenSolaris to install on systems with only 512MB memory - check /etc/system while booted from the live CD to see what it is set to.
