I decided to browse the Solaris Internals book to search for something related to the boot code path and found out about the VFS chapter. With this motivation it is much less boring to read an entire chapter, so I am starting the book through VFS. If you think I could benefit from some other part to understand mountroot, please let me know. If/When I get some news on this, I'll post it here. Thanks for all your explanations.
