zones boot order

The service is svc:/system/zones:default. Examination shows the only dependency is on the multi-user-server milestone.

> Do all local zones boot in parallel or sequentially ?

Parallel. Each zone is booted by a separate process.

> Can the boot order be influenced ?

The method called by the zones service is /lib/svc/method/svc-zones. You can examine what it does. It gathers the list to start with 'zoneadm list -pi' and boots any "installed" zone that has autoboot set to true, in the same order that the list returned.
