Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the right sequence of steps to create the LX zone and linux kernel in preparation for installing Plex.

You will get improvements in r151022, but nothing that'll substantially improve the bringup.

2.) If #1 is still too complicated, Oetiker & Partner have this tool:  http://www.lxadm.org/
