Thank you Thomas. I did see your post, but it didn't have a solution.
So the correct process of installing time-slider on text-based oi is:
# pkg install time-slider
# svcadm restart dbus (or reboot the machine)
# svcadm enable time-slider
# svcadm enable auto-snapshot

I know that .deb supports post-install scripts that, for example,
could restart dbus after a successful install of a package. Is this
something that could (should?) be added to the time-slider IPS
package?
