Casper,

I've determined that if I BFU my system:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a
 SunOS orthanc 5.11 opensol-20061030 i86pc i386 i86pc

...to opensol-20061103 that I get a kernel panic just after the initial SunOS copyright notices and then the system reboots.

However, the system reboots so quickly that I can't read what actually went wrong. Furthermore, when I go back into my system, there's no obvious core dump or crash file which makes sense to me as I think it's crashing in a ramdisk before a hard disk is mounted.

Flying by the seat of my pants, I did:

 * BFU to 20061103

...then without rebooting:

 * BFU to 20061106

...and my machine didn't kernel panic.

I must say that switching from Debian GNU/Linux to Open Solaris has been an odyssey (I'm experienced with Debian GNU/Linux, Gentoo, RedHat Linux and FreeBSD) but an odyssey that I've enjoyed.
