ufs root isn't supported for OpenSolaris at this time; there are multiple bits that will not correctly work with a custom filesystem setup. > I tried to remove some of the unneeded pkgs (e.g. Xorg) but pkg complains (as > it should).

The packages are responsible for stating the correct dependencies. If they claim that a particular package is required, then the package system assumes that the software will not correctly operate without it. You need to find the packages that are requiring you to have these extra bits, which you can do with pkg search; see man pkg.1. Cheers, -- Shawn Walker
