by default packages that get installed into a zone are specified in the
default AI manifest used to install zones. you can find that manifest
here:
/usr/share/auto_install/manifest/zone_default.xml
looking inside you can see that the default package that we install
(which determines which other packages get installed) is:
group/system/solaris-small-server
you can also create your own AI manifest which specifies which packages
you'd like to have installed in the zone.

but for zones it's better to boot them, zlogin, and then run pkg.
