[OmniOS-discuss] LX zone empty error messages

So I'm finally getting around to trying out LX zones and can't seem to get the zone installed for some reason. Here's what I've done and where I'm stuck:

# Fresh install of latest bloody
# Setup basic networking
# pkg update -v
# reboot
# pkg set-publisher -G http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/bloody/ -g http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/LX/ omnios
# pkg install brand/lx
# curl -o /root/centos6.zss.gz https://images.joyent.com/images/5b7e86e4-2797-11e6-b7d7-cbe6a1a48791/file <https://images.joyent.com/images/5b7e86e4-2797-11e6-b7d7-cbe6a1a48791/file>

# zonecfg -z lx0
# 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
# commit

-- This is where it breaks
# zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/centos6.zss.gz

I get this.. 
root at bloodybox:/root# zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/centos6.zss.gz
WARNING: skipping network interface 'lx0': object not found
ERROR: 

Ok, I think I can fix the iface issue like so:
# dladm create-vnic lx0 -l e1000g0

But, the empty error message persists and the zone never gets installed :(

root at bloodybox:/root# zoneadm -z lx0 uninstall 
root at bloodybox:/root# zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/centos6.zss.gz
ERROR: 

And for giggles, I gunzipped the file and tried it with the unzipped version. Same deal. Any ideas?.. I'm running this as a VM for testing before I put it on bare metal. Could that be the issue or did I miss something critical above? I wish the error message said *something* ;) Any other way of getting some extra verbose output to see where it's dying?

Thanks

Michael
