Thanks for the info. I'm just starting to learn Chef and was thinking from a Chef-solo perspective if that makes any sense. I now understand that knife bootstrap is for bootstraping nodes when you already have a Chef server (and hence a pem). Need to read more, but I'm glad someone else has tried this:

FYI: I'm actually running my own SmartOS servers, but this was essentially in a SmartMachine. http://smartos.org.

Cheers,
GF

Hey thanks for this. I just ran it successfully on a new SmartOS node after making a couple of small tweaks (see my fork at https://gist.github.com/1753987 -- had to add '-y' to pkgin to avoid interactive prompts, and removed sun-jdk6 because I couldn't come up with a way to get it to run non-interactively.)
