Thanks for the info, John. It turns out that you do however need the info contained on that old page for booting into an xVM-enabled state on Nevada. I'm pretty sure it boils down to this:

Get the menu entries to determine the entry number for Solaris xVM:
$ bootadm list-menu

Set the default menu entry to Solaris xVM:
$ bootadm set-menu default=1

Reboot into xVM-enabled mode:
$ reboot

I'm not entirely sure if the above is complete since when I tried this on a machine running Solaris Nevada build 108 it dumped core and now I can't reach the machine again, and I didn't have that old wiki page to go by so maybe I've missed something crucial. The last time I tried following the instructions on that old wiki page I did have success, but it was on another machine using a different Nevada build, I think it was 103.
