[pca] pca versus installpatchset strange error

[Rajiv Gunja]

- Assuming that your Zones are all whole root zones.

When you created your BE, did you create for all the zones?
If so, did you make sure that the BE vfstab is pointing to the right mount
point?

I have never relied or used the installpatchset that is bundled with the
CPU, I usually use my own loop with patchadd, thus making it easier to
uninstall the whole bundle.

I use PCA to create the bundle and list of patches and then use a for loop
to install the patches.

If you want to look at my code, go to :
