Hi Dave.

I want to clarify a response I made last night...

To clarify, 13109, which deals with installing using pkg, calls out two 
issues:
1) that /var/pkg needs to be RW (as corrected by Shawn Walker).
2) that the bootroot now needs to be much larger due to how pkg now works.

As creators of image manifests, we are responsible for (1).

The pkg team is responsible for mitigating larger pkg memory 
requirements to handle (2).

Assuming that pkg refresh uses the same catalogs as pkg install, then 
14054 would complete our part of what is needed to make that work.  The 
bootroot size issue still needs to be addressed, however, before the 
complete fix is in place.

By only modifying (1) the  pkg refresh command still fails with "/ file 
system full" in the middle of its operation.

     Thanks,
     Jack
