It's been a long time since I did this, but I recall that there were
pre-built Linux images that you pointed to at install time.

I still have a Solaris-10_x86 branded zone that runs on an OpenIndiana
machine.  I think it was necessary to create a CPIO image (or maybe a
flar image?) of a Solaris-10_x86 system (metal) in order to create
that zone.  Again, recalling from long-paged-out neurons here....

But the image management was done outside of zonecfg/zoneadm.
