[OpenIndiana-discuss] Access to /etc on a pool from another system?

[Dave Miner]

beadm is missing a qualifier on mount to specify the pool name under 
which the named BE is located, so it mounts the first BE it finds with 
the name you specify.  Since you had the same BE name present in your 
existing root pool, that gets in the way.  Your workaround removed the 
conflict and that's why it worked.
