This is because the ZFS module is required for the filesyste/local
service to come up.  In particular, it checks for '/sbin/zfs' and does a
'zfs mount -a'.  If you don't wish to have ZFS on the system, then you
should ununistall the SUNWzfs* packages.  Manually excluding the kernel
module only via /etc/system is not a supported configuration.
