Hi Stephen,

That's an odd one. Have you tried using a flat file instead of a 
partition? Just something to test.
If that doesn't work, would the community (or you) see any value in a 
packaged (a la stacklet) image of a pristine {full,para}virtualized 
OpenSolaris domU? I sort of think it would be a good thing to get the 
two communities working together a bit, what with Oracle all but killing 
off Solaris/OpenSolaris. Crazy talk?
