5.3. Lifecycle management
5.3.1. Booting a zone
[dd] zoneadm -z <zone> boot starts up a zone, mounts the file systems, initializes the
network interfaces, sets the resource controls and starts the service manager of the zone. When the
zone is first started, as with Solaris re-installation, all smf service manifests are imported and the
initial smf repository for the zone is created.

In addition, the directory <zonepath>/dev is created, which contains all devices that the zone
can access.

5.3.2. Boot arguments in zones
[dd] The zone configuration, just as the command zoneadm -z <zone> boot, can be
extended by boot arguments (bootargs). Thus for example a singular boot process with detailed
information on troubleshooting, or booting the zone into single-user mode, is possible.
