So after comparing your blog and John Levon's
(http://blogs.sun.com/levon/entry/opensolaris_2009_06_guest_domain),
and trying it for opensolaris snv_122 from genunix.org, here's what I
come up with :

- you can use "xvda" instead of "0" for domU disk (in fact, xvda is
currently recommended)
- if you use 64bit kernel, location of x86.microroot has moved to
/boot/amd64/x86.microroot
- no need for "-B console=ttya,livemode=text" anymore
- the live CD can't use virtual frame buffer, but by default it
creates a vnc server whose parameter (ip, port, password) can be
lookup from xenstore. So it's an alternative to starting vncserver
manually

Some additional note, if you use updated Xen 3.4.1 and virt-install
0.6.4 from Gitco, virt-install works for opensolaris installation :D
