I am having problems getting grub to work again.

It was working fine today and these are the symptoms:

My laptop internal drive has c0d0p1 (hd0,0) which is my solaris fdisk partition.
And c0d0p2 (hd0,1) is a fat32 fdisk partition.

When I boot the system I no longer see the grub 0.95 boot menu. I just get a 
grub prompt.

When I run at the grub prompt:
root (hd0,0)

I get this error: Filesystem -type unknown, partition type 0x00000bf


I can boot off of a OpenSolaris Belenix DVD and when I run fdisk on my boot 
drive I still see the first partition listed as active and Solaris2 and my 2nd 
fdisk partition is fat32.

Belenix mounts the fat32 partition to /mnt/fat0 and I can see the files on it 
(no OS is installed in the partition).

I can't umount /mnt/fat0 (even with the -f option!)

And I can't find any way to mount /dev/dsk/c0d0p1 when booted off of the DVD to 
try to fix  the menu.1st file.

All I did this afternoon was fdisk the 2nd partition, mkfs_pcfs it and mount it 
via the /etc/vfstab. Everything seemed fine and I shut down my laptop. When I 
rebooted, I can't get the menu to be recognized and i can't figure out how to 
fix it via the grub menu.


Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Merle
