I just installed OpenSolaris 2008.05 as a VirtualBox guest under Ubuntu Hardy. 
Installed and booted fine. I'd read the release notes and saw "Important 
Package Update Instructions for All Users". The Image Packing System is broken. 
On initial boot, one must open a terminal and do this:

$ pfexec pkg refresh
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWipkg at 0.5.11-0.86
$ pfexec pkg install entire at 0.5.11-0.86
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWipkg-gui

But when I do that, as root:-

bash-3.2# pfexec pkg refresh
pkg: Command not found
bash-3.2#

bash-3.2# man pkg
No manual entry for pkg.
bash-3.2#

So I need to install pkg first. Somehow the release notes don't cover that. 
I've got pkgadd, so I could do it, but where do I go for the package that 
contains pkg?
