Hi Geoff,

Apologies, I hadn't updated the illumos instructions to account for
the HTTP -> HTTPS switch.

If you reload the page now you'll see that the instructions have
changed a little, and that there is also a newer bootstrap kit
available (20161020).  This fixes a few issues that were reported
since releasing the first 2016Q3 bootstrap kits.

In order to get back to a working state, first edit this file:

  /opt/local/etc/pkg_install.conf

and change the PKG_PATH URL to use "http://"; instead of "https://";.
You should then be able to follow the upgrade instructions.

Regards,
