Thanks for the info, John.  It turns out that you do however need the info contained on that old 
page for booting into an xVM-enabled state on Nevada.  I'm pretty sure it boils down to this:

Get the menu entries to determine the entry number for Solaris xVM:
$ bootadm list-menu

Set the default menu entry to Solaris xVM:
$ bootadm set-menu default=1

Reboot into xVM-enabled mode:
$ reboot

I'm not entirely sure if the above is complete since when I tried this on a machine running Solaris 
Nevada build 108 it dumped core and now I can't reach the machine again, and I didn't have that old 
wiki page to go by so maybe I've missed something crucial.  The last time I tried following the 
instructions on that old wiki page I did have success, but it was on another machine using a 
different Nevada build, I think it was 103.
