At the GRUB menu press "e" to edit the boot commands. You should then see 3 lines of commands which are used to boot your system. Go down to the second line out of the 3 that are shown (which ends in "-B $ZFS-BOOTFS") and press "e" again. This will then allow you to edit this line. Add a space, then "-s" at the end of the line and press enter to finish editing. Once you have done this, press "b" to boot the system. OpenSolaris will then boot into "single-user" mode and ask for the root password. Once you have done this and got a root shell, enter the following command:
svcadm disable gdm Then restart the computer using the following command: init 6 Note that the change you made to the grub command is only temporary and is only used for the single boot after you make the edit. So when you reboot, your system will boot up as normal, except that it should hopefully not go to a blue screen. You should get a text-mode login prompt, from where you can set up X windows. Can you tell me what graphics system your computer has so we can suggest a possible solution? Thanks Andrew. This message posted from opensolaris.org
