Both byte-me and flying-shards-of-metal did the same thing. I looked at
the patch, and it's a ginormous accumulation of things. Reading its prepatch
script
(/afs/dev/system/sun4x_58/install/patches/patches.link/108528-13/prepatch)
indicates that for some reason (a bugid is associated with it), it needs to
kill powerd before installing, and tries to do so. I imagine this is what
we're seeing here. On the other hand, I can't seem to find powerd running on
byte-me even after it rebooted. I also looked on nerd-xing wondering if it
might have it since it didn't take 9.0.2[56] yet, but it doesn't. Someone
else would know better than I if the dialups are special in relation to powerd,
but I'm out of <9.0.25 Suns that I can log into remotely, so I can't look
elsewhere.
I haven't seen the readonly package issue you noted, though.
