If you want to use pfexec to get full privileges with a regular user account, you need to grant it the "Primary Administrator" profile. It is no more set by default with new installations of Solaris 11 Express.

So now that the ZFS pool is up and running it is time to fill it up with data. I've got a linux external hard drive with the ext2 file system I'd like to plug in and use.

I can't figure out how to mount it, or if it automounts, I can't find the mount point?

It show up as drive 7 after running the format command.

On all the other operating systems I use a new device just pops up and works with a click or two. Even older Linux distros would mount with a simple command like "mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda1" or something like that.

How does one do this type of thing with Solaris 11?

The automounter automatically mounts file systems from newly inserted removable devices as long as the file system is supported. This is however not the case with ext2fs. There used to be third party read only support which might still work with Solaris 11:
