For alternate BE, I've used option -R of pca, which is the same as for
patchadd.

Ie:
./pca -l m -R /alt.BE


So far, no problem with that. I haven't tried yet on a ZFS root, but I
don't see why it would be different.

Actually, I'm assuming that patchadd is intelligent enough to block me
from doing it if somehow that action isn't supposed to work.
