Hello all,
I hope someone can help with this as I'm completely stumped.
My setup is an old x86 PC with a rootdisk and rootmirror, both under disksuite.
The disks are the same model and are partitioned and sliced identically.
My problem is that if I set the rootmirror to boot in the BIOS it works fine -
I get the grub menu and off we go, but if I try to boot off the rootdisk I get
the "bad PBR sig" message and no grub.
I've tried detaching the rootdisk slice in disksuite, and then installgrub -m
/boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0 (and then reattaching the
root device) but still get the same result.
On each disk there is only one partition in fdisk (which are both set to active
and Solaris2).
Please can anyone help with this - I'm hoping to upgrade my rootdisks but
cannot do so until I'm confident I can boot off either one.
