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.

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.
