Hello Lori,
Thank you again for the quick reply.
Unfortunately, I had mistakenly anticipated a somewhat quicker
integration than Solaris 10u8.
Approaching this from another angle, would it be possible for me to
build a jumpstart server using a current Solaris Nevada b107/SXCE, and
to ultimately jumpstart Solaris 10u6 clients with a ZFS root using a
flash archive as a source?
No, you need install software that has been modified
to understand how to unpack a flash archive onto
a system that has been created with a zfs pool.
There is this:

It's not the same as flash archive support, but it accomplishes
some of the same goals.

Latest is that this will go into an early build of Update 8
and be available as a patch shortly thereafter (shortly
after it's putback, that is. The patch doesn't have to wait for U8
to be released.)
I will update the CR with this information.

Hello Lori,
Any update to this issue, and can you speculate as to if it will be
a patch to Solaris 10u6, or part of 10u7?
Thanks again,

This is in the process of being resolved right now. Stay tuned
for when it will be available. It might be a patch to Update 6.

I understand that currently, at least under Solaris 10u6, it is
not possible to jumpstart a new system with a zfs root using a
flash archive as a source.
Can anyone comment as to whether this restriction will pass in the
near term, or if this is a while out (6+ months) before this will
be possible?
Thanks,
