In our current development bits you can create a zvol on dom0 then use
that for the UFS boot filesystem. Since you can't boot directly off a
ZFS filesystem from domU's point of view yet (just like Nevada), you
need UFS to boot.

Xen isn't yet integrated into Nevada and is still under heavy
development. For dom0 you'll need to use our bits still since a number
of Xen bits won't even compile on Solaris. We're gradually trying to
merge as much as we can with upstream.

Any further questions are probably best directed to
xen-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx where more relevant people are listening.
