I noticed there was discussion on this list around early July ("Broken 
pkg in ipkg zones since update to oi_151a5") that while not identical to 
my case sounds close enough - as I'm otherwise completely stumped to 
what's going on here. I can't successfully boot _any_ new Zones 
currently on my system, and my system sure hasn't changed...whereas the 
repositories are probably in a state of flux. So, I'm putting this down 
to some interaction between what's in the development repositories and 
the oi_151a image currently installed in my global Zone. Planned course 
of action from here is to clone an existing zone and rebuild it as 
necessary...

Cheers,
