Ah, I see what you mean. Any arguments to the OBP 'boot' command are  
not arguments to the command itself, but are passed on to the  
aforementioned boot block that the 'boot' command (hopefully!) finds  
on the boot-device.

So it's the ZFS boot block in this case that get and process the -Z,  
not the OBP itself. The OBP by design has no carnal knowledge on this  
level.
