entire is installed by default. It's a special package type called an
incorporation, used to track upgrades. When you upgrade "entire," what
really happens is that any packages you have installed that are part of
"entire" are upgraded. So yes, you do need a new boot environment to
upgrade entire (in general).
CC'ing pkg-discuss, as they have a much cleaner explanation of it than I
do :)

What is it and why isn't it installed by default? After doing a clean install of
OpenSolaris 2009.06 I'm immediately told to install this update; when I do it creates an
entirely new boot environment. What happens when I install the "entire"
package? Do I really need a whole new boot environment to install this package?
