Assuming you are using a qlogic HBAs and you don't have FC boot disks, add:

exclude: qlc

To the miniroot's /etc/system.

When I was first playing with SAN boot, I also noticed that having a
devalias for rootdisk pointed to the path of the disk caused jumpstart
to use that for profile rules like:

filesys rootdisk.s0 8192 /

I have since extended my jumpstart environment to have a begin script
that will recognized jsroot1 and jsroot2 devaliases (d0, mounted at /
is a mirror of those two devices).  If those are found, the begin
script will figure out the appropriate ctd name and create the custom
profile appropriately.  If no jsroot* entries are found, the begin
script falls back on per-architecture rules that I've defined.
