First, are there any known issues with installgrub and
bfu when doing a bfu on x86?
Every time I've tried to bfu s10x86u6 to a more recent
build, I've seen this:
...
Extracting ufs modules for boot block ... 2880 blocks
Installing boot block.
Error: installboot is obsolete. Use installgrub(1M)
Extracting generic.usr ...
...
..and after the bfu, the system reboots to "grub>",
at which point I need to manually enter findroot, etc,
to boot Solaris. I can then run installgrub and get back
to being able to boot with grub.
In attempting to set up an old LX-50 with multiple Solaris
installs, I've got in on / (s0) and /aroot (s3). So I put in my
menu.lst file these:
title Solaris10x86
findroot (rootfs1,2,a)
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
title Solaris10x86_bfu
findroot (rootfs1,2,d)
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
... the first one always works and boots Solaris in s0, the
second one never works:
findroot
(rootfs1,2,d)
Error 15: File not
found
s0 is an installed s10u6, s3 is an install of s10u6 then bfu'd.
btw, I'm aware this is meant to be an opensolaris list (and these
are s10 questions), so if there is a more appropriate (internal?)
forum for these questions/issues, please direct me there..
