Hello, 

Sorry I am a n00b @ grub and open solaris, I can work on Openboot prom though 
;-)

I was dual booting suse (1st installed) & solaris (2nd install). Some how I 
manged to install solaris & during OpenSolaris installation I had created /boot 
as one of the slice. And when I restarted my pc, I was able to see only grub 
command line (solaris's grub). 

I entered the command 'root' & I got 'hd(0,0,a)' which is "/" slice

And I thought maybe /boot is a different slice than '/' so that might be the 
issue. I manually entered the following & booted in to the solaris

grub> kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix
grub> module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive
grub> boot

Solaris came up, & I did the following
# mkdir /b ; cp -R -p /boot/* /b/* ; umount -f /boot; mv /b /boot
# vi /etc/vfstab and commented the /boot slice 
# init 0

restarted my pc

and solaris grub came up normal this time. I want to know what all should I 
modify so that when I use /boot as another slice, I get the normal grub screen 
& not the command line..

Regards
Gautam
