Update to Build 134

Recently I switched back to OpenSolaris from EON, because I wanted to run the Glassfish-Applicationserver. So I used an old CD with Dev-Build 130 to install OpenSolaris.

Since I now have a new Mobile-Internet-Contract (with HSPA) I decided to upgrade to the latest Build 134.

The "pkg image-update" ran for 2h. The only Issue I had after the Update was BUG 12380. I could not connect via putty from my Windows-Machine. But after using the Workaround in Comment 3 (adding "clone:ptmx 0666 root sys" to the File "/etc/minor_perm"), all was well.

Summary:

There are some Bugs which have to be fixed before the new Release (those from the last Forum-Thread). The Release should come with Build-Number 138.
