Thanks.  That is a great resource, I've spotted answers to other
questions I've run across before now.  But -- and maybe I'm being dense
-- I still don't find an answer to the problem I'm having now.

I've just restated my original post twice in response to other attempts
to help me out, so I won't do that again, but... is there something in
that list that I may be overlooking?  I only found two references to
setting up a domU, one that just points out virt-install (which I
already know about, and can't make do my bidding), and the other a
broken link which I think used to lead to this page:

  http://weblog.dme.org/posts/old/363/

...which appears to be out of date with current Solaris dom0; it
describes a config file format that looks like what we use on Linux, not
the XML thing Xen expects.

It also uses xm for domU control.  From the OpenSolaris xm manpage:

  DESCRIPTION
     The main interface for command and control of both  xVM  and
     guest  domains is virsh(1M). Users should use virsh wherever
     possible, as it provides a generic and stable  interface  to
     controlling  virtualized  operating systems. Some xVM opera-
     tions are not yet implemented by virsh. In those cases,  the
     legacy utility xm can be used for detailed control.

...all of which leads me to believe that, somewhere, there's an
"OpenSolaris Way" of doing this that I'm just not finding.

That excerpt does point to their "virsh" tool, which has a manpage,
which says you can use it to load up an XML config file describing a
domU.  But I can't find a description for how to get such a file in the
first place.
