Paul,
We've made a choice to have zones be minimized by default.

You can safely ignore those (or file them as bugs against
netservices). Netservices is trying to enable/disable optional
systems services without testing to see if they are there.

'pkg install slim_install' should give you a zone which matches
the contents of the livecd.
In (very) recent builds, you can do:
zoneadm -z myzone install -e slim_install
And that will do everything.

It's /etc/.UNCONFIGURED
So are you following the procedure documented at
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2450/z.login.task-1?a=view
? (search for "sysidcfg")
You might have to give us more specific details otherwise. If you're
saying that the sysidcfg file stuff isn't working right, that might be a
bug we need to address.
