Short answer: That's a feature, called "fast reboot". To get a normal, GRUB reboot, try "reboot -p" (after having used shutdown(1m) to bring the system to single-user state, of course). Long answers: - http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2240/reboot-1m?a=view - http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project +intel-platform/fastrebootdocs Fast reboot sounds great for servers, but if you switch back and forth often between OSol and Windows, you could find it to be just annoying. So if you decide you prefer full, GRUB-style reboots without having to ask for them, the second of the above pages tells how to change the default. [Caveat: the above is based only on reading docs. I haven't tried it, since I don't actually have OSol installed yet...] - Eric
