[OpenIndiana-discuss] NWAM hiccups on startup WAS: pkg only installing command-line tools

Tue Nov 26 21:33:33 UTC 2013

While I don't split-root install, the fact that the post-install script 
didn't run correctly (at all?) and I had the root filesystem error would 
undoubtedly have "lost" where /usr was as well. This is making sense now.
