Cool.

You mean specifying the absolute file path of the primary domain's
filesystem in the guest's OBP? No.

You can use `vdisk /some/generic/path' and simply replace the file on
the primary, or use symlinks. Adding or removing disks to guests is not
possible, but you may replace existing disks as you wish.
I'm currently just using symlinks, that is
domain guest {
vdisk /var/ldom/guest.img
...
}
Where /var/ldom/guest.img is a symbolic link to whatever I want to boot.
Not nice but works; replace the target and restart the guest: done.
