I encountered an odd failure while doing a 'pkg image-update' from Osol 2009.06 to snv_137. During the removal phase, removing /boot/grub/menu.lst failed because the file didn't exist. [It was actually in /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst; I vaguely recall that it moved or acquired additional copies sometime after 2009.06.] I copied it into place so that image-update could remove it on the next attempt.

I'm wondering if this should really be a fatal error that stops the installation. Since the action was to remove a file that didn't exist, anything that depends upon the success of that action should be OK. Perhaps image-update should just print a message in this case and continue?
