I still haven't solved this problem...
I saw another message about the "bootadm update-archive" command and
thought maybe that might be related. Can someone explain how that
command relates to boot environments?
I'm running in an old boot environment. (My newer boot environments
fail to boot, as described above.) Here's what I get:
$ pfexec /usr/sbin/bootadm update-archive -vn
cannot find: /etc/cluster/nodeid: No such file or directory
changed /etc/devices/devid_cache
cannot find: /etc/devices/mdi_ib_cache: No such file or directory
cannot find: /etc/devices/retire_store: No such file or directory
cannot find: /platform/i86pc/ucode/AuthenticAMD: No such file or directory
changed /etc/zfs/zpool.cache
changed /etc/zfs/zpool.cache
Do any of those errors suggest a real problem?
If I do the update-archive while running in this old boot environment,
what effect might it have on the ability of newer boot environments to
boot properly?
