Technically it doesn't matter how you call it (last field).
It is just a name.
I _wanted_ to chose a different authority-/publisher- name, because as
of now OS2009.06 is still only available as an unsupported *Preview*.
And the authority which - as of now - officially carries the name
"opensolaris.org" is still for 2008.11 .
Therefore I randomly chose the name "dev" (because its mnemonic, as
the branch itself is called "dev") which makes it necessary the
explicitly run ...
pfexec pkg unset-publisher opensolaris.org
... afterwards.

Well, it does not harm if you (re-) install "entire" before that.
Probably it is redundant. But from your nice "official" instructions at least
pfexec pkg refresh
would be missing, which is run automatically as part of the
pfexec pkg install entire
which I suggested. What you get byy strictly following the official
instructions would be an early end:
pfexec pkg install redistributable

Anyway, it is good that you point this out, that my mail does not have
any official character at all.
I'm just a normal user recommending excelent Preview software to other users.
In the hope that this small summary helps migrants overcoming the
initial hurdles, which I faced myself.
Cheers
