This is probably not what Gary meant.
As far as I can tell, the only way to do a fresh install to a new (and
empty) BE is as follows:
Install, say, OI_148 in a VBox instance
In your standard, machine.wide OPEN SOLARIS, do:
beadm create OI-148
beadm mount OI-148 /a
cd /a
rm -rf <everything-in-/a>
Copy the image from the VBox OI_148 instance using cpio, into /a
do a beadm activate OI-148

Is it possible to do a fresh install to a new BE rather than image-update? This
would make it possible to go back to the previous BE in case there was an
installation problem?
You can do an image-update that creates a new BE:
pkg image-update --be-name oi_148
would create a new BE named oi_148 for the upgraded image.
