and this is where things go off the rails... you can't just create this
directory since when the zone get's booted the zone root filesystem will
be mounted here and whatever you've created will get covered up.
i'm not sure what the best workaround is. one thing you might try is
changing the zone to the "ready" state before creating your sysidcfg
file. ie, do:
zoneadm -z myzone ready
then create the sysidcfg file and boot the zone as your normally would.
let us know if that works...
