Thanks, this is very helpful!

Interesting.  Seems I was *almost* there in my test. :-)

Good to know.  But you still needed the entries on the OS level, namely

setprop ttya-mode 115200,8,n,1,-
setprop console ttya

in /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc and the ttymon/label property in the
console-login SMF service.  Correct?
