[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI-dev-148 failure on V20z

[Gary Gendel]

Marion,

I have somewhat successfully brought up oi_148 on my v20z.  I only had 
two issues that I didn't have the time to work out so I'm back on svn_134b

1) I couldn't get apcupsd to work. I'm sure this is due to some change 
in libusb.
2) There was something sucking up cpu but not showing up in ps or 
prstat.  I think it was a service in quick restart mode.

I used the net installer from here:
