Ahh yes, that's another limitation (for now). As I said, an explanatory
blog entry is in order.
One thing you could do is run your own repository on your laptop

can point at an alternate repository/authority at zone install time
using the -a option to zoneadm install (this option exists only for
ipkg zones).
