A question about the behavior of SMF milestones: If I specify a 
milestone using boot arguments and that milestone depends upon a 
disabled service, will the service be enabled?

If so, I'm wondering if that might be a solution to the following 
problem. When running the miniroot environment found on the install 
media, ssh is not enabled. However it is sometimes useful (for debugging 
purposes) to boot with a way to log in remotely. Would it be possible to 
specify an alternative milestone at boot time that would cause ssh to be 
enabled?

If not, is there another way to affect the SMF state via boot arguments? 
I'm asking about a general mechanism, not creating a new boot flag that 
would be interpreted to enable this one specific service.

Please cc me on any replies; I'm not a subscriber of this alias.

Thanks,
Scott
