Interesting. I can tell you immediately that the JET template won't let 
you do that. However, JET does allow you to specify your own "profile" 
so you could certainly create a profile that attempts to do what you 
suggest. (Just for kicks, you can simply manually edit the 
/opt/SUNWjet/Clients/<clientname>/profile for testing.)

However, I'm not sure how you'd make this work. How do you intend to 
control which O/S boots?

One way which is highly likely to work is to install Sol 9 on slice 0, 
then lucreate slice3 and upgrade to Sol 10 u1, and then lucreate slice5 
and upgrade to 10u3.

(If you're on x86, then your grub menu will let you select the O/S to 
boot. I don't know/can't remember how you'd do this from the EEPROM on 
SPARC, but at least you could use luactivate to swap between environments.)
