I've found it easier to use the manual be creation instructions:
$ pfexec beadm create opensolaris-[N+1]
$ mkdir /tmp/mnt$$
$ pfexec beadm mount opensolaris-[N+1] /tmp/mnt$$
$ pfexec pkg -R /tmp/mnt$$ image-update
...and instead of opensolaris-[N+1] just insert your own be name.
Then finally:
$ pfexec beadm unmount opensolaris-[N+1]
$ pfexec beadm activate opensolaris-[N+1]
All of the above was taken from the release notes [1].
