init...@dogpatch:/virtualbox# zoneadm -z csuite install -a ./s10.cpio
WARNING: skipping network interface 'vnic0_3' which may not be present/plumbed
in the global zone.
A ZFS file system has been created for this zone.
ERROR: you must specify -u (sys-unconfig) or -p (preserve identity).
solaris10 brand usage:
install -u | -p [-v | -s] -a archive | -d directory.
The -a archive option specifies an archive name which can be a flar,
tar, pax or cpio archive.
The -d directory option specifies an existing directory.
The -u option unconfigures the zone, -p preserves the configuration.

Install the configuration on to the system. The -x nodataset option
can be used to prevent the creation of a new ZFS file system for the
zone (assuming the zonepath is within a ZFS file system).
All other arguments are passed to the brand installation function;
see brands(5) for more information.
