Yes, I installed the Live Upgrade packages using the installation program (liveupgrade20) on the snv_94 DVD. >> However, when I reboot (using init 6) only the old boot environment >> (snv_90) can be selected in the GRUB menu. > > That's very weird.

It did not create any separate boot partition. I traced the error messages I got from the rc6 script to the file /usr/lib/lu/lulib, function lulib_install_boot_GRUB. It seems to require the presence of either /boot or /stubboot of type pcfs in /etc/vfstab.
