The following actions have reboot-needed set to True.  This means you
cannot install the package in a live image.  You must reboot to an image
with the updated software:

        file e5944a3712a37b54ba45c2e1a2850caeafb3e574 
chash=fd1fe1d7305b13b0799c1813fe84468050334b6e elfarch=i386 elfbits=64 
elfhash=7dee49be8f5cfc3149de756169e7fac86b9dc956 group=sys mode=0644 
opensolaris.zone=global owner=root path=kernel/drv/amd64/nvidia 
pkg.csize=3475559 pkg.size=12663536 reboot-needed=true variant.arch=i386 
variant.opensolaris.zone=global

        file 975f3c216719d33bab577e2cad199849b5991164 
chash=d287446b182f6a78e157e2c32c6da5cc2de75390 elfarch=i386 elfbits=32 
elfhash=cab05681f14911deebcfed4083fa5ddf224bc9d3 group=sys mode=0644 
opensolaris.zone=global owner=root path=kernel/drv/nvidia pkg.csize=3340298 
pkg.size=10590824 reboot-needed=true variant.arch=i386 
variant.opensolaris.zone=global

I believe that Bart is working on a changeset that should automatically
create the BE and install the software there if you install a package
that is marked as reboot-needed.  He would be able to give you more details.
