I have finally resurrected the system.
The distribution constructor didn't really achieve the simplicity of the
"jumpstart from cd" ease I was looking to achieve for appliance creation and
recovery.
The companion to this is a text mode configurator, to achieve a "sys-unconfig"
like result without the reboot. My first Python project.

pkg: This is an internal error. Please let the developers know about this
problem by filing a bug at http://defect.opensolaris.org and including the
above traceback and this message. The version of pkg(5) is '666742d60b75'.
The system was built using a modified version of the script.

I checked out the pkg logs, and found that I had added a number of packages
without problems, until I tried to load SUNWbonnieplus from the dev repository.
That seems to have been terminal.

One useful thing out of all of this:
The OpenSolaris boot disk is reasonably transportable.
The OS Sata disk mirror was built on Intel E5420 system, on an LSI SAS
pass-through controller.
It is now running in an AMD Opteron 252 with a marvel Sata controller.
When moving between systems with the same controller, the mirror disk is lost
by zfs - odd as it is supposed to use the disk label, but that is easily fixed.
In this extreme move, I did need to reapply grub, but that could be because
this was the mirror, and it didn't get installed cleanly by the script. It does
need a little more fine tuning.
It's goal is a GUI-less install for storage or specific purpose systems.
The only problem now is the new onboard network chipset wasn't in my install
list, and I can't add it the usual way.
I really need the old pkgadd from a single file. It has rescued me on sparc
systems many times.
Mark.
