LX zones now boot, with enough configuration a priori.
Much more testing is required.

+
+This is an attempt to port over LX zones into OmniOS.  It's going to be a long,
+painful slog, and I don't mean the ZFS kind, either.  :)
+
+An IPS repo that matches public updates of the r151019 bloody repo can be
+found at http:/pkg.omniti.com/omnios/LX/.  ipkg and lipkg zones can boot,
+appear to be fully functional, but need more testing.  LX zones can be
+installed using ZFS send streams (gzipped or uncompressed) from Joyent's
+images, or from tarballs often used for Docker image setup.  The
+"kernel-version" attribute must be set by the administrator to match the
+installed image.  For example:
+
+        # zonecfg -z lx0 export
+        create -b
+        set zonepath=/zones/lx0
+        set brand=lx
+        set autoboot=false
+        set ip-type=exclusive
+        add net
+        set physical=lx0
+        end
+        add attr
+        set name=kernel-version
+        set type=string
+        set value=2.6.32
+        end
+        #
+
+This matches a CentOS 6.8 image from Joyent.  To install the image:
+
+     zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/path/to/centos68.gz
+
+A tarball install uses the -t flag instead:
+
+     zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/path/to/docker-ubuntu.tgz
+
+Effective September 1st, one can use SmartOS-style IP address and DNS
+configuration using zonecfg parameters.  Here's the above zone with a pre-
+configured set of networking parameters:
+
+        # zonecfg -z lx0 export
+        create -b
+        set zonepath=/zones/lx0
+        set brand=lx
+        set autoboot=false
+        set ip-type=exclusive
+        add net
+        set physical=lx0
+        add property (name=gateway,value="192.168.0.1")
+        add property (name=ips,value="192.168.0.69/24")
+        add property (name=primary,value="true")
+        end
+        add attr
+        set name=dns-domain
+        set type=string
+        set value=example.com
+        end
+        add attr
+        set name=resolvers
+        set type=string
+        set value=192.168.0.1
+        end
+        add attr
+        set name=kernel-version
+        set type=string
+        set value=2.6.32
+        end
+        #
+
+You'd obtain the .gz file from Joyent's image servers.
+
+LX zones boot, and if not configured with zonecfg(1M), one needs to use
+/native tools and/or scripts to configure networking on them.  (NOTE:  This
+follows the OmniOS adminstrative model for zones.)  LX zones need even more
+testing than ipkg/lipkg zones, but appear to at least boot and allow both
+"zlogin -C" console logins and "zlogin" direct logins.  Some distros do not
+present a console login on the first boot, and the zone may need to be
+rebooted
+
+I reserve the right to burn this repo to the ground and start fresh.
+
+This repo also has the "joyent" branch, which is a downstream of illumos-joyent.
