Chalk me up as another happy one.  Having it in the "dev" repository
made it easy to "pkg image-update" from oi151a, after having browsed the
updates using the GUI update manager (which process updated "pkg" itself).

Boots and so far runs fine on my desktop here (Dell Optiplex 980).

In the release notes you say:

I agree with this approach, but I'd appreciate a clue on how one might
generate (or browse) a list of what changes are included in the Illumos
bump.  E.g. I sort of followed my nose a bit with the link to issue #2002
in the release notes, then to:
	http://hg.openindiana.org/sustaining/oi_151a/illumos-gate/
then to:
	http://hg.openindiana.org/sustaining/oi_151a/illumos-gate/shortlog

Is that somewhat close to a change log for what this oi_151a2 release
includes?
