In my opinion, changing the binding of 2008/760 is not entirely
unreasonable, but 2008/760 makes references to fast reboot, and so
you're not really backporting the entire thing, but a subset of it.
I suspect it may simply be better to run this as a separate fast track
with a cross reference to 2008/760. Indeed, it seems that what you want
to do for *this* case is significant enough that it ought to be
described in a case of its own anyway.

Hi,
I request to change the PSARC 2008/760 binding from micro to patch.
Fast reboot related properties will not be backported.
boot-config service can also be used by consumers other than fast-reboot
project.
Thanks,
Gangadhar
Can you please elaborate how else you'd like to see this service used?
We are fixing the issue described in 6276367. As part of the S10 fix we
backport the boot-config service.
Summary of 6276367:
On Solaris systems, boot-archive inconsistencies during boot up causes the
system to enter into sulogin mode.
System administrators have to update the boot archive and then reboot the
system. We are trying to automate this process for an extent as part of the
fix. We use boot-config service to add a property 'trust-bios-boot-device'
(private property) and have a check for this property during boot up to
decide on whether to trust the default grub entry of the system in case of x86.
S10 boot-config.xml:

Its usage in :
http://jurassic.eng/net/ssaesrv.eng/export/users/gm149974/scratch/auto_boot_archive_feature/webrev/usr/src/cmd/svc/milestone/fs-usr.sdiff.html
The PSARC case only had a minor binding approval. Now I am requesting for patch
binding.
Thanks,
Gangadhar
