[OmniOS-discuss] Bloody update on Repo, plus Kayak for ISO is almost beta

If you're using bloody, please use "pkg update (-r)" to update to the very latest:  omnios-master-650595c.  This is a merge-with-upstreams update, with one or two other fixes to help the Kayak-for-ISO work move along.  (Notably, "diskinfo" is now part of the "entire" consolidation.)

More interestingly, the Kayak-for-ISO is now feature complete with the addition of working disk-selection-install.  PLEASE try it out.  It's simpler than the old Caiman one, but should be functionally equivalent (and it doesn't use function keys).

The still-in-testing ISO is here:

	http://kebe.com/~danmcd/webrevs/r151021-kayak.iso

Hashes are:

md5 (r151021-kayak.iso) = f875c1f102d7f242869f9afde2196aa4
sha1 (r151021-kayak.iso) = a1b3ce074c40a4b8436c4dba02f08e0a29ba82d7
sha256 (r151021-kayak.iso) = a3c65ef2dd3bd6f42fb6d36e9fac155f055e3495fe272dc5bc7c86fa3757fea2

Please share with the whole list how this goes.  I know there are still some systems that appear to not even get past loader, but with Prakash's explanation of how to disable apix, it may run better on Xen environments.

Thanks,
Dan
