Right, that just looks like you're not passing in all the necessary
arguments.
Inspired by the link I sent you, I think you need to give it more
information:
insmod multiboot
set root='hd0,gpt14'
multiboot /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix
/platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix -B smartos=true
module /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive
should be one step closer.

I get the error:

krtld: bind_primary(): no relocation information found for module
krtld: error during initial load/link phase
krtld could neither locate nor resolve symbols for:

Press any key to reboot.
Same if I try it with -B smartos=true
Etc.

Did I mention that this listbox is driving me nuts? I want to sign up
for the list, get a daily digest... but get updates to any email
threads in which I participate. Google Groups has that option, as does
nearly every other. Every subscription based thing does (github?).
listbox apparently does not. Argh.

I have an existing server using grub2 to boot into multiple
operating systems (currently 3 CentOS installations and one
vmware). I want to boot SmartOS as well. Unfortunately, the usual
"use a burnt CD/DVD" or "stick in a USB drive" don't really work,
as I rarely have physical access.
I set aside 2 partitions on the physical disk - gpt14 1GB and
gpt12 100GB.
I downloaded the smartos-latest.iso, but how can I get grub2 to boot?
1- I cannot burn and install a physical CD/DVD or USB drive
2- grub2 can loopback mount an ISO, but it needs a direct kernel
to boot from there, cannot do chainloader. I tried:
insmod chain
loopback (loop0) (hd0,14)/smartos-latest.iso
set root='loop0'
chainloader +1
no luck.
2- I tried memdisk, same issue, it sees memdisk, but then
immediately reboots the physical machine
3- I tried direct loopback then multiboot/module commands, no
valid disk
4- I tried emptying the contents of the iso into the gpt14
partition, then just tried to 'chainloader +1' it, no valid boot
disk found
And so on.
How can I just get the thing to boot without physical access? Yes,
I do have console access of course.
Thanks.
