Yes, that apparently works.

This is my publisher on the host system now:

    <root at t2000># pkg publisher
    PUBLISHER                   TYPE     STATUS P LOCATION
    oi-userland                 origin   online F file:///export/home/mills/Downloads/code/oi-userland/sparc/repo/
    v9os           (non-sticky) origin   online F file:///data/ips/

Yes, I can delete the v9os publisher now, leaving only oi-userland .
It's still not the same as the publisher on the ISO, though.  I
understand that the two being different is quite normal.

I understand that there are pkg commands that will make changes to the
file repositories with less risk to the kitten.  I do want to publish
the repository along with the ISO, just as done with v9os.  The two of
them have to work together.  That's why I enquired about changing the
publisher that's stated in the file repostory.
