In addition, perhaps some sort of a "live-install" feature using
the beadm/pkg commands would be useful.  By this I mean something
similar to the old RFE for allowing a fresh installation into an
existing BE.

I've played with this some and have gotten down the manual steps
it would take to install 2008.05 along side nv_88 on my laptop.
The steps are long and gruesome; we've got some work to do clean
this up.
