Thanks, that helped a lot.

I guess my problem might include other issues.  The upgrade
sees/configures the NIC I needed, but the cylon "OpenSolaris" splash
screen doesn't go away w/o hitting "escape", and I get a message
"svc.startd: system/xvm/ipagent: default failed repeatedly" and
"...failed to abandon contract 66: permission denied".

"svcs -xv" returns nothing.

I had other issues w/ the MGA driver. It worked before the upgrade,
but not after.  deleting the driver defaults to the vesa driver, which
works.  I don't know if that's salient to this issue, but thought I'd
make sure to relay it.
