Sergey: You ran into a known issue and it is in the release note for osol_124:
http://wikihome.sfbay.sun.com/spe-re/attach/OpenSolaris%2Fosol_relnotes_snv_124.txt 11221 beadm create core dumps on OpenSolaris 122 SPARC http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=11221 When using builds 122 or 123, an attempt to create a new boot environment (BE) via beadm(1M) or indirectly through "pkg image-update" may result in a "segmentation fault". Work-around: Boot into an earlier boot environment and then manually create the desired BE from there. For example, to image-update from build 122 or 123 the following set of commands can be used <reboot into the earlier BE> u...@host$ pfexec beadm create -e <name of build 122 BE> \ <name of new BE> u...@host$ pfexec beadm mount <name of new BE> /mnt u...@host$ pfexec pkg -R /mnt image-update u...@host$ pfexec beadm unmount <name of new BE> u...@host$ pfexec beadm activate <name of new BE> At this point, the new BE can be booted into.

Is it a known issue, or should I file a bug trough bugster? In latter case what would be the right category/subcategory in bug report?
