[OpenIndiana-discuss] The kiss of death

[Richard L. Hamilton]

I don't reinstall from an image, but run pkg update almost daily, and have rarely (maybe once, a long time ago) run into anything that didn't boot properly again (such that I had to boot an older BE and get rid of the failed one). That's as VirtualBox guests (usually current VirtualBox, except that right now, 6.1.20 aborted VMs on startup, so I reverted to 6.1.18 and its extension pack, which is fine), on a macOS host (currently Mojave).
