Understandable desire, but I don't think using -R that way was
supported. pkgadd(1M) says this:
Note - The root file system of any non-
global zones must not be referenced
with the -R option. Doing so might
damage the global zone's file sys-
tem, might compromise the security
of the global zone, and might damage
the non-global zone's file system.
See zones(5).
That's from a Solaris 10 11/06 system (S10u3), and the same note is
still there on OpenSolaris.
