I'm seeing a similar problem - pkg image-update from 111b to 117
reported that it was unable to activate the new be, and left it mounted.
I then got:
also% env BE_PRINT_ERR=true pfexec beadm umount opensolaris-117
also% env BE_PRINT_ERR=true pfexec beadm activate opensolaris-117
be_do_installgrub: installgrub failed for device c8t0d0s0.
Unable to activate opensolaris-117.
Unknown external error.
This machine is setup to dual boot, and I recently reinstalled the other
side with Fedora 11, so it installed it's own grub and made it's partition
active - I've listed opensolaris in Fedora's grub to chainload. Is that
blocking the installgrub?
