If you have ZFS based zones, install_failsafe() in luupgrade will fail dueto
a bug in lumount_zones: cloned zonepath gets mounted by luupgrade in the
current BE but not unmounted before calling install_failsafe.
install_failsafe calls lumount and this one lumount_zones. The latter
one fails, since it checks whether the cloned zonepath ZFS is mounted,
but not where, which in turn causes 'zoneadm -R /bla -z aZone mount' to
fail because the zonepath has usually wrong permissions and is an empty
directory ...
If 'isainfo -k' == amd64
cp $CD/boot/amd64/x86.miniroot /boot/x86.miniroot-safe
Else
cp $CD/boot/x86.miniroot /boot/x86.miniroot-safe
should be ok (not yet tested).
