I am asking since I can see that you have 'ufs' filesystem on FreeBSD partition, so if you use some older version, you might be running into variant of: 4675 Fix for bug 30 causes ZFS label to be mangled - ending up in GRUB prompt after installing OpenSolaris Could you please take a look in '/mnt' directory, if anything is mounted there: $ ls -l /mnt Also, when you are in situation you end up in GRUB prompt after selecting Solaris, could you please boot from live CD and attach your partition configuration as reported by Solaris and Linux fdisk commands ? For Linux: # fdisk -l /dev/<disk_name> For Solaris (when booted from Livecd): $ pfexec fdisk -W - <disk_name>p0 Use format(1M) or 'iostat(1M) -En' for obtaining <disk_name>. When still booted from live CD, could you please also attach output of 'zpool(1M) import' and zdb(1M) commands ? $ pfexec zpool import $ pfexec zdb -l /dev/dsk/<disk_name>s0 Thank you, Jan > > I'm a complete beginner to OpenSolaris, but have used Linux and Solaris > for years. > > > _______________________________________________ > indiana-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
