Thanks for the info, John. It turns out that you do however need the info
contained on that old page for booting into an xVM-enabled state on Nevada.
I'm pretty sure it boils down to this:
Get the menu entries to determine the entry number for Solaris xVM:
$ bootadm list-menu
Set the default menu entry to Solaris xVM:
$ bootadm set-menu default=1
Reboot into xVM-enabled mode:
$ reboot
This part is basic admin though (choosing a different grub entry). I'm
not sure there's anything work documenting here. It used to be harder
since you didn't get the grub entries and had to add them by hand.
It used to be harder to program using punch cards too, but that's no reason to not produce
programming books. The above may be basic administration but if you're not a sysadmin then it's
nice to find a wiki page which explains these simple steps. Apparently someone found it worth
documenting before, and I certainly found it useful when I ran across it the first time. Try to
remember that not everyone has the same level of Solaris knowledge (some of us are downright thick
when it comes to system administration) and what may seem trivial or obvious to you isn't always so
for everyone else.
