1. sorry for the delay in replying.

2. the reason that I was originally using zfs destroy was that beadm destroy 
failed.

3. Current state of affairs:

~# beadm list

~# beadm destroy test
Are you sure you want to destroy test? This action cannot be undone(y/[n]): y
        

~# beadm list

Notice: A. the incorrect size for the current BE, follows the active BE around 
like a faithful dog.
B. if I zfs set mountpoint=, mount, unmount re-set mountpoint=, then beadm 
activate can usually be made to work.  this is one reason I wanted to lighten 
the BE load cause even with a script to do the work, Im pretty tired of it, 
every update.
