Thank you very much for lending a hand even though your experience is not on Solaris 10 x86 platform.
What makes you feel my experience is not with Solaris 10 on the x86 platform (too) ?

Looks like the flash archives is a recent Solaris 10 built-in functionalities
Not that recent and definitely predating Solaris 10. Flash archives appeared with Solaris 8 2/04 (Feb 2004)

There is an indirect question that I would like to ask, which is related to mounting NFS drive on single-user mode after having booted up from Solaris 10 installation disk with the following steps:
( i ) GRUB => e => e => cdrom -s
( ii ) 1. Solaris Interactive install ,or 6. Single User Mode.
What is the difference between the 2 single-user mode through menu 1 / 6? I have found that menu 6. provide a READONLY environment that does not allow the creation of file / folder. Both single-user modes (1. or 6.) is very restrictive on the services (no NFS client mount through svcadm) available, compared to the one available from a fully fledged OS multi-user mode.
A read-only / is to be expected from a CD-ROM boot. Solaris 10 CD isn't a full live distribution but mostly designed to install, upgrade or fix the OS. However, nothing should prevent you from manually mounting NFS shares. The nfs client service isn't required.
