Here's in my words the answer from the latter 2 :

Encapsulated rootdisk can be mounted directly from the cdrom, after a

standard

"boot cdrom -s". Since the rootvol is not a VxFS (thus is not

logged), a fsck may be required, but nothing else.

We've tested this procedure successfully since.

Find enclosed below the original question :
