When creating zones in OpenSolaris 05.08, setting capped-memory seem to prevent the zone from booting.
-bash-3.2# zoneadm -z sparse-zone boot
zoneadm: zone 'sparse-zone': enabling system/rcap service failed: entity not
found
zoneadm: zone 'sparse-zone': call to zoneadmd failed
-bash-3.2# zonecfg -z sparse-zone info

-bash-3.2# zonecfg -z sparse-zone verify

After a few futile attempts, I found that this setting requires SUNWrcap pkg which isn't available in the default installation and had to manually install the pkg from the repository. Then import and enable the manifest for it to work.
-bash-3.2# svccfg import rcap.xml
-bash-3.2# svcs -a|grep rcap
disabled 10:23:59 svc:/system/rcap:default
-bash-3.2# svcadm enable svc:/system/rcap:default
-bash-3.2# svcs -a|grep rcap
online 10:24:28 svc:/system/rcap:default
-bash-3.2# !zo
zoneadm -z sparse-zone boot
zoneadm: zone 'sparse-zone': Unable to set route for interface lo0 to êþùþã
zoneadm: zone 'sparse-zone':
-bash-3.2#
Voila`!
