Now that those of us using Solaris/x86 have grub as our boot manager, there's a new SMF thing - system/boot-archive.
For a normal reboot/shutdown, this doesn't pose a problem. But if my system crashes (like it has been recently), on reboot it stops with a message about clearing the state of system/boot-archive. I'm also puzzled as to why it thinks this needs to be rebuilt - since the last clean reboot, I've done nothing to impact the local kernel files - well, nothing that I'm aware of, unless compiling and reading email is cause for reason here. My concern here is that we've needlessly added something to our bootup that prevents the system from cleanly reboot'ing after a panic. I'm at a loss as to whether this is actually a bug/regression and if so, is it a newboot or SMF one? Or is this just part of the newboot experience? Thoughts? Darren
