I suspect that it's a qemu esp bug. Either Solaris recognizes a wrong esp chipset version or qemu esp doesn't implement some necessary features the of the esp version it claims to be.

Ah okay. What does that change to scsi_options actually *do*? I've seen reference to it in your HOWTO, but I don't see any explanation as to why it is needed and/or what symptoms you were seeing and how you determined this was the correct workaround?
That was easy: booting in a single user mode from an install CD worked, booting from a HDD image didn't. I looked at the installer /etc/system and took the options from there. :-)
