I am trying to understand how the boot process form the live iso/usb
works, so I can configure it.
Each time SmartOS boots, it needs to figure out if there is a global
zone installed on one of the disks/partitions, find that global zone,
and load it.
If no global zone is found, it needs to run the setup script. If a
global zone is found, it needs to load the config from that zone and
not run the setup script... unless the user wants to run the script.
And what if there are multiple global zones on different partitions?
There can't be: ZFS will get very confused if there is more than one
pool called "zones".
Are these all kernel-load options that set up as part of grub? Is it a
logical flow? How do I control it?
You probably don' have to. You probably want to use a transient SMF
service to customise your system on startup, see:
