set address=10.0.1.25
set physical=e1000g0
end

pfexec zonecfg -z myzone < myzone.config

pfexec zoneadm -z myzone install

At this point, there is no etc directory, so I create one:

pfexec mkdir /zones/myzone/root/etc

And create the following sysidcfg file:

bleon...@opensolaris:/zones/myzone/root/etc# cat sysidcfg 
system_locale=C

terminal=xterms
network_interface=PRIMARY {hostname=myzone}
security_policy=none
name_service=NONE
nfs4_domain=dynamic
timezone=US/Eastern
root_password=changeme

Log into the zone:

pfexec zlogin -C myzone

And then boot it:

pfexec zoneadm -z myzone boot

However, I'm still presented with the interactive sysidcfg. I checked the 
sysidconfig.log, but there's not much information to go on:

r...@myzone:/var/log# tail sysidconfig.log

You are doing something wrong.  This is a FAQ:

http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/faq/#os

Readying the zone is the proper way to workaround this for now.

and this is where things go off the rails...  you can't just create this
directory since when the zone get's booted the zone root filesystem will
be mounted here and whatever you've created will get covered up.

i'm not sure what the best workaround is.  one thing you might try is
changing the zone to the "ready" state before creating your sysidcfg
file.  ie, do:
zoneadm -z myzone ready

then create the sysidcfg file and boot the zone as your normally would.

let us know if that works...

[zones-discuss] Preconfiguring ipkg Brand Zones
