This prompted me to double check that other domU's still work after my
upgrade from Xen 3.2.0 to 3.2.1, and that made me realize that I didn't
have my dom0's tun/tap device loaded, something that's bitten me in the
past.

With that in place, Solaris gets further, or appears to; the domain
sticks around according to 'xm list', but the VNC console doesn't show
up, and 'xm console' croaks:

  xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory

I've seen that error before while trying to boot Solaris, and googling
for it leaves me thinking that there are lots of reasons it can happen,
but for the moment I don't know what's going on in my case, and since I
can't get a console I don't know what state my domU is really in.

Funny, too, since xm console worked fine for this domU a few hours ago,
and I don't think I've changed much since then other than loading the
tun module.
