installadm should create that symlink for you. My installadm version is: VERSION: 11.11,REV=2009.02.16.04.00 (and will be updated again real soon). installadm gets a good deal of fixes all the time, updating it every two weeks at least can be a good idea. It creates the symlinks fine here on my server.
