I was actually able to solve my own problem with updating. For future reference if anyone comes across this same problem (the only hit on Google when searching for the errors I received was this thread), I followed the directions at the following:
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-announce/2008-June/001849.html Note that to follow these, you must have already run the "pkg image-update" command and have a clone generated. This will let you get past the fact that older versions of the system cannot update on their own after a reboot. Use the "beadm list" command to see the name of your clone. Once you know that, do the following (note that the name of the clone in this example is "opensolaris-1"): $ pfexec mount -F zfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 /mnt Followed by: $ pfexec /mnt/boot/solaris/bin/update_grub -R /mnt I followed this up with the reboot command. When my system came back up, the freshly downloaded packages had been applied. I can certainly appreciate OpenSolaris much more now that I have battery and network indicators, which were missing from my original 2008.05 build. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
