FIX: Reference: http://jp.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsbootFAQ/ 1. Place your "Install DVD / CD" in the drive when at the grub prompt. 2. Type "reboot" at the grub prompt. If you need to, enter your BIOS setup. 3. When you get to the Installer's prompt go single user mode. 4. Your "root directory" ( "/" ) is: "/a" so you need to type this: (Tested): x86# installgrub /a/boot/grub/stage1 /a/boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 (Thus, on a Sparc, you _might_ be able to use (untested)): sparc# installboot -F zfs /a/usr/platform/`uname -i`/a/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 5. When you reboot you ought to get the "normal" grub bootsplash exactly as in prior versions. I do not know that somewhere this one command is missing but I do know (that on SXCE_snv99 (on x86)) that this single command is a fix (for me). Rob_C -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
