Thank you Mary.
I didn't know 125 was available. Can I upgrade from 118 to
25 using the same instructions you sent me yesterday?
beadm create <be-name>
beadm mount <be-name> /mnt
pkg -R /mnt install entire at 0.5.11-0.122
<------------- 0.5.11-0.125
bootadm update-archive -R /mnt
beadm umount <be-name>
beadm activate <be-name>
