   That article appears to enable installing a paravirtual domU. The 
instructions apply
   to a Solaris Express image and won't work for Indiana. You can boot 
Indiana ISO
   directly using an alternate configuration on an HVM domU (requires 
hardware
   support).  However unfortunately I was unable to get the GUI to come 
up in Xen.
   There appears to be some problem with the Cirrus Logic driver in the 
FOX bits.
   Xen emulates a Cirrus Logic display card.

   I can forward you the Python configuration file if you still want to 
experiment.
