That seems to be grub's stage1 / stage2 boot code. stage1 silently runs, stage2 prints something to the console.

(Assuming you're using OpenSolaris 2009.06 and not Solaris Express Community Edition) Check with "svcs -x" if any services failed to start. The installation CD is supposed to automatically start an X11 gui environment in which the installer is started. Seems that didn't happen. Check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file if there had been any errors with starting the X11 server. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
