I was able to get to 134 by using "bootadm update-archive" but it looks

be terribly broken -- both just appear to hang unless I press ^J. I
expect it's some sort of problem in the GNOME terminal emulator.
Sounds a lot like the ptmx permissions bug in the release notes actually,
which is fixable with a simple chmod.
Really?
The comments in that bug (particularly #26) seem to state that this was
fixed in build 127. That was long ago. I was running build 131 and I
tried to upgrade to build 134.
How is it that a bug fixed back in build 127 didn't affect me in build
131 but started affecting me in build 134 ... ?
I'll give it another try, but I'm skeptical, to say the least. Is it
really fixed as the many comments in that bug seem to say?
I believe it is, but the install you did bypassed the normal upgrade
process and so wasn't quite right.
I've image-updated every build without issue and without using the
workaround.
If it is the same symptom, I'd suspect a different cause.
Again, I'd suggest trying to remove the /contrib packages first and
using image-update.
