OpenSolaris 10? There is Solaris 10, Solaris Express - Community Edition (SX:CE) or OpenSolaris.

The system should offer to mount the root filesystem. For OpenSolaris, boot using the LiveCD, open a terminal window, and "pfexec zpool import -f rpool". You can also try to boot into single user mode: Edit the grub boot commands and remove all splashimage, foreground and background grub commands; remove the console=graphics option on the kernel$ line; and append option "-s" at the end of the kernel$ line. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
