Neil,

When you create the flash archive you will need to exclude the
directories that contain the non-global zone roots.

So, for example, if you created the zones under /zones, you would need
to exclude /zones (or at least /zones/zonename1 and /zones/zonename2)
from the flash archive.  The reason is because flash archive is not
zone-aware/zone-friendly.

Regards,

Robert

Thanks for the quick responses. Gonna try to go with a flash archive
right first, see how that works. I already have an admin webserver for
just such an occasion, and I remember seeing the installation asking
about installing from flash archive.

The other option was using zfs snapshots, which I'm not sure about how
I'd get that on an empty system, so I'll hold that as a backup plan.

Thanks again,
    Neil
