As an aside, while dladm supports a -R, last I checked it is not a
general-purpose alternate root option, but a special hack for doing
upgrades.  This is one of the reasons it was removed from the synopsis;
it probably should've been ripped out of the manpage as well, since the
only thing that really works with it are the SVR4 packaging scripts.
