Have the same problem on a thumper with u3: creating a boot image there takes
about 41 min, on a U40 with b55b 2.5 min.

+ /boot/solaris/bin/root_archive packmedia $DST $SCRATCH

ON both system $SCRATCH is local UFS. $DST is ZFS on the thumper,
the same directory NFS mounted on the U40.

  21537 /bin/ksh /boot/solaris/bin/root_archive packmedia 
/home/elkner/tmp/miniroot/Sol
    21576 newfs /dev/rlofi/1
      21577 sh -c mkfs -F ufs /dev/rlofi/1 385800 600 1 8192 1024 16 10 120 
2048 t 0 -1 8 1
        21578 mkfs -F ufs /dev/rlofi/1 385800 600 1 8192 1024 16
10 120 2048 t 0 -1 8 1 n

Here mkfs seems to take the most time even so prstat says, load 0.02
and less (mkfs is doing nothing) ...
