for 4.X it's rather straight forward, just uncomment the savecore junk in /etc/rc.local and make sure all the paths/etc are correct. My 4.1.1 is off in the corner making funny noises so I can't confirm that, but I'm pretty sure. As for Solaris 2.x, I think the /etc/system dumpfile jank is only for 2.5 and up.. never done it on =<2.4 so I couldn't tell you.
Set it to 0, and you can avoid these problems.
This is a really ugly bandaid, by the way. Why stop there, when we could take symlinks out the the kernel / filesystem [1] and avoid all those other security problems.
