How are patches applied to non-global zones?

In Solaris 10 FCS, running patchadd in the global zone results in each non-running zone being booted twice, once to check dependencies and the second time to actually apply the patch. This behavior has changed in Solaris 10 Update 1 : non-running zones are now not actually booted at all.
