Of course I had to try this at one, but on my Blade 1000 I get: # eeprom console=graphics eeprom: OPROMSETOPT: Invalid argument console: invalid property. :-( It would have been too good to be true. I knew that you can give grub a nice polished look, but this doesn't make Solaris booting nice. Have you ever seen how SuSE (now Novell) looks like during booting? I wouldn't go as far as saying that this is reverence class, but that is a step into the right direction. Especially, as one normally gets only a fuuny graphical screen with icons and after pressing escape these icons disappear and one can look at the boot messages of the kernel and init scripts. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
