This is a fairly frequently asked question inside Sun,and now that the biweekly builds are available outside Sun,there are probably more people who are interested. If you want to create a Boot Environment with a specific build (not the latest one) in OpenSolaris,here are the steps to use:
beadm create snv122beadm mount snv122 /mntpkg -R /mnt install pkg:/entire@0.5.11-0.122bootadm update-archive -R /mntbeadm umount snv122beadm activate snv122
Caveat Emptor and all that stuff. This recipe comes with no warranty,but I’d be glad to make it more accurate or up-to-date if you let me know of improvements.
Hi,
just wanted to drop update on this.
On recent builds pkg requires you to do:
pkg -R /mnt install pkg:/entire@0.5.11-0.122
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the tip! I update the recipe.
