Last week I did an install from a solaris platform to another disk in 
the same box. One thing that struck me as odd was that miniroot.fs was a 
tgz file, that is, gzip'd. Until Solaris 9, I don't think gzip came with 
Solaris, and it is just one more step to work around.

Is there any reason to not leave it as non-gzip'd, or use compress? I 
realize gzip is probably a better compression agent, but we're just 
adding one more step in the process.

ciao!
