If the changes you want to apply to the miniroot can safely be done by simply replacing some files in an existing miniroot, you can do the following:
/usr/sbin/root_archive unpack <old-miniroot> <target-directory> # replace files as necesssary in the <target-directory> /usr/sbin/root_archive pack <new-miniroot> <target-directory> Then install the miniroot as boot/x86.miniroot in a netinstall image, or the image directory used to build a DVD. If the changes require a full reconstruction of the miniroot, then I'm not sure how to do it in a way that is available to the entire community (though it must exist since that's how OpenSolaris gets built).
