Download the repository for 11.4 beta on oracle site.
Create a local repository on the machine in question (this will require couple of GB).
Using pkg command, set the publisher to point local repository.
Create a backup boot environment via beadm, which you will revert to if things do not work.
Even tho system update will probably create boot environment automatically i like this clean and named as i want
Try to update via pkg update --accept from the local repository.
This should update your system from 11.3 to 11.4
Often update from major to major release do state you need some SRU before, but i have tested several upgrades without issues between major releases.
Perhaps those are some borderline cases, but pkg update should fail in that case, leaving you with working environment due to the way solaris is patched.
Hope that helps

UPDATE-INITRAMFS(8) update-initramfs manual UPDATE-INITRAMFS(8) NAME
update-initramfs - generate an initramfs image SYNOPSIS
update-initramfs -c|-d|-u [-k version] [-t] [-v] [-b] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The update-initramfs script manages your initramfs images on your local box. It keeps track of the existing initramfs archives in /boot. There are three modes of operation create, update or delete. You must at least specify one of those modes. The initramfs is a gzipped cpio archive. At boot time, the kernel unpacks that archive into RAM disk, mounts and uses it as initial root file system. All finding of the root device happens in this early userspace. OPTIONS
-k version Set the specific kernel version for whom the initramfs will be generated. For example the output of uname -r for your currently running kernel. This argument is optional for update. The default is the latest kernel version. The use of "all" for the version string specifies update-initramfs to execute the chosen action for all kernel versions, that are already known to update-initramfs. -c This mode creates a new initramfs. -u This mode updates an existing initramfs. -d This mode removes an existing initramfs. -t Allows one to take over an custom initramfs with a newer one. -v This option increases the amount of information you are given during the chosen action. -b Set an different bootdir for the image creation. -h Print a short help page describing the available options in update-initramfs. EXAMPLES
Update the initramfs of the newest kernel: update-initramfs -u Create the initramfs for a specific kernel: update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.18-1-686 FILES
