134b is update to 134 that was released by Oracle AFTER releasing
Solaris Express, which in turn, came after OpenIndiana 147.
OpenIndiana 147 could be updated from snv_134 (not 134b).

One can update from previous OpenSolaris to snv_134 specifying release
version when doing image-update. And then do update to OI_14x.

beadm cre­ate snv-134
beadm mount snv-134 /mnt
pkg –R install /mnt entire at 0.5.11,5.11–0.134
bootadm update-archive –R /mnt
beadm unmount snv-134
beadm acti­vate snv-134
reboot

I don`t think anyone mentioned yet managing of updating from snv_134b to
oi_148 yet.
If anyone managed to update from 134b to oi_148, please tell so.
