I had created a virtualbox VM to test out opensolaris. I updated to latest dev build and set my things up. Tested pools and various configs/commands. Learnt format/partition etc.
And then, I wanted to move this stuff to a solaris partition on the physical disk. VB provides physical disk access. I put my solaris partition in there and created slices for root, swap etc. in that partition inside the OpenSolaris VM. Created a pool called mypool on slice 0 of this solaris partition and did a zfs send|recv of my rpool/ROOT and rpool/export into the mypool. Verified that the data was correctly copied and mountpoints were set exactly like they are for rpool. Next, edited the files in /mypool/boot and /mypool/etc to use the new name mypool instead of rpool in the signature. Edited the menu.list where findroot now finds the root in (pool_mypool,2,a) instead of (pool_rpool,0,a) because on physical disk, solaris partition is the 3rd primary partition. Did a installgrub to slice 0 of the solaris partition. Got out of the VM and booted my machine. It correctly gives me the grub menu for opensolaris but when I select, it shows the opensolaris splash, moves the bar a bit and sits there. So, my questions: 1. How can turn the boot splash off to see what's going on underneath? ESC did not work. 2. Is there a log inside the mypool root fs that I can look at from a OpenSolaris livecd, which will give me more information about what happened? I am scrubbing the pool from livecd now. Will appreciate your help! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
