If you actually read about LiveUpgrade, you would see that it was designed to support multiple instances of Solaris. It isn't just for upgrading, it's just that is the primary use. While I don't believe you can currently multiboot Indiana with it, you could, for example, boot: * Solaris 10 * Solaris Express Developer Edition (01/08 and prior) * Solaris Express Community Edition ...etc. LiveUpgrade has tools that allow you to switch between alternate boot environments. As for the type of multiboot support you might be used to, that is being worked on, but it is not a priority at this stage from what I've read. It will eventually be done though.
