  hi, reading the backlog reminded me of a thing:

  is there any plan porting beadm’s activate ’-t’ behaviour ? i’ve been looking for an equivalent of FreeBSD’s bootonce that once was very handy for remote, headless servers

  smartos doesn't use beadm though

  it does have piadm which is similar, but doesn't do the exact same thing

  since it's intended to be a read only boot image

  they’re different, true, but in my eyes, that feature would be nice to have (i won’t voice my opinion any louder, as i’m too poorly skilled to write it myself)
