I just realized that the rc.conf file is part of the BEADM boot environment
and when I switch releases, rc.conf comes with it.  I will need to
grab my ZFS admin book and find out how to mount a zfs filesystem from
the loader prompt and remove the 'read only' attribute so that I can edit
the rc.conf that will be used to load the 'bad' release.  Maybe then I
will have something useful to report
