Whoops, not sure why I wrote `freenas-install` instead of `freenas-update`. I'm actually not sure which of those I actually ran (there's nothing in my `.bash_history` about it anymore), but if `freenas-update` worked, that's probably the one. I'll edit to reflect that.

In this situation:
  1. Failed install as described https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/18273 (i.e. the GUI Update said 20% and then halted)
  2. Can ssh in
  3. Library errors for the following:
    1. service django start
    2. wget
    3. beadm activate (Grub errors, flagged the older boot as R but never booted into it.)
    4. freenas-update
  4. No physical access, so no choosing with Grub at startup.
My libraries were messed up! The fix?
  1. mount the previous boot image:
    $ mkdir /var/tmp/9.10.1-U4
    $ beadm mount 9.10.1-U4 /var/tmp/9.10.1-U4/
  2. restore previous libraries: $ copy /var/tmp/9.10.1-U4/usr/local/lib/lib* /usr/local/lib
Now beadm activate works. Switch to previous version, reboot, and follow Ajedi32's instructions (delete the broken boot version, try the update again).

Thanks Ajedi - worked great now that I've found time to test it. Am on 9.10.2 without any sign of the grief it took to get here.
