Here are the four commands i entered in a terminal to update OpenSolaris 2008 to the latest build 91:
# pfexec pkg refresh
# pfexec pkg image-update
(# beadm list)
# pfexec mount -F zfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-2 /mnt
# pfexec /mnt/boot/solaris/bin/update_grub -R /mnt
The full procedure is indicated here.
