I'll try to help, but I'm confused by a few things.  First, when
you say that you upgraded from OpenSolaris 2008.05 to snv_94,
what do you mean?  Because I'm not sure how one "upgrades"
an IPS-based release to the older SVR4 packages-based
release type.  Do you mean that you did an initial install
using snv_94?  If so, did you select a zfs root or a ufs root?
At what point were you presented with the suggestion
to upgrade the pool from ver.10 to ver.11? 

Also, you write that  you are doing a burn of SXCE snv_94,
but how did you do the "upgrade" (or whatever) to snv_94
in the first place without a snv_94 install medium?
