Right, that's because editing the entry during boot time only affects that boot. Your changes are not saved. >make active command will resolve the issue. Yes, but as you have seen, at a high price: the GRUB menu is no longer being displayed. Instead, as you noted, the system always boots into Windows XP. I would suggest the following: 1. Boot the LiveCD but do not re-install OpenSolaris. All you need to do is make the partition on which OpenSolaris was installed active again. You can do that using the fdisk command; take a look at this blog entry: http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/triple_boot_part_3_install. It provides an example of how to use "pfexec format -e" in order to run fdisk. 2. Reboot from the hard drive. You should see the GRUB selection menu again. 3. Select OpenSolaris. After it boots, edit the file /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst (you can use this command: "pfexec gedit /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst"). Make the change that you need to the rootnoverify entry for Windows XP and then save the file. Do not add the "makeactive" entry. 4. Reboot again and select Windows XP.
