[indiana-discuss] Revised instructions for updating from http://pkg.opensolaris.org/

[Keith Bierman]

Sadly this hasn't seemed to work for me. I've done it several times (minor variations). Here is the last attempt. After the script is finished, I do a pfexec reboot and it correctly tries to boot from the new "opensolaris-" but sadly it says it's not bootable (or something similar that flies by too fast to see) and then it's back to the grub select an image to boot from.
