No, x86. I was wondering if I actually needed to use luactivate given
that all the entries showed up on my Grub boot menu. If so, that would
be great.

No indeed :)

Thanks for the response.


So I'm trying to upgrade my ABE, called nevada61, which was made from my PE
nevada60:

Boot Environment           Is       Active Active    Can    Copy
Name                       Complete Now    On Reboot Delete Status
-------------------------- -------- ------ --------- ------ ----------
nevada60                   yes      yes    yes       no     -
nevada61                   yes      no     no        yes    -

While using a loopback mount of the b61 media, I'm trying to luupgrade
nevada61, and getting the following message:

[desperation] ~ > luupgrade -n nevada61 -u -s /mnt

Copying failsafe kernel from media.
Uncompressing miniroot

gzcat: /mnt/boot/x86.miniroot: not in gzip format
ERROR: Cannot decompress media miniroot archive </mnt/boot/x86.miniroot>.
ERROR: Cannot unmount miniroot at </mnt/Solaris_11/Tools/Boot>.

Any thoughts?
