Partitioning, MBR updates and details like that aside, this is some example about BE menu:
root@test:/home/tsoome# bootadm list-menu the location for the active menu is: /rpool/boot/menu.lst INDEX NAME DEVICE TYPE DEFAULT 0 Disk1 disk0p1:/efi/boot/bootx64.efi chain - 1 Disk2 disk2: chain - 2 Disk3_ufs disk3s1a: bootfs - 3 openindiana-2021:04:29 rpool/ROOT/openindiana-2021:04:29 bootfs * and corresponding menu file: root@test:/home/tsoome# more /rpool/boot/menu.lst title Disk1 chain disk0p1:/efi/boot/bootx64.efi title Disk2 chain disk2: title Disk3_ufs bootfs disk3s1a: title openindiana-2021:04:29 bootfs rpool/ROOT/openindiana-2021:04:29 Here, Disk1 and Disk2 are examples of chain loading, Disk1 is example of UEFI and Disk2 is example of BIOS boot. Disk3_ufs is example of illumos boot from ufs or pcfs file system (fstype needs to be set still). bootadm can also list and manage the menu entries, but the syntax is too complicated and [bootadm] needs work. rgds, toomas > On 3.
