Hi Solaris 10 Experts,
I am wondering what is the correct syntax to edit in Grub when trying to specify the local ZFS boot disk while booting up from a Solaris 10 x86 64bits DVD installation disk. In other word, I try to boot up from local disk without removing the Solaris installation disk from drive which is down in a locked up data center. Below is what the current Grub setting is:
Grub edit>kernel$ /boot/multiboot kernel/$ISADIR/unix �B install_media=cdrom
Grub edit>module$ /boot/$ISADIR/x86.miniroot
However, I have tried the following changes without success:
Grub edit>kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot �B console=ttya
Grub edit>module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
Error 15: File not found
Booting command-list
Grub edit>kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot �B console=ttyb
Grub edit>module /boot/x86.miniroot.safe
Error 15: File not found
Booting command-list
I am following the instruction from http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/817-5506/grub-1/index.html.
I would also like to find out where the current Grub boot up file is located in order to see what is the correct boot up device is in /boot/grub/menu.lst which gives nothing useful:
***Do not edit***
The menu.lst file for this system is in /rpool/boot/grub.
The filesystem on this server is as follows:
root@sydpathsr01 # zfs list -r rpool | more
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
rpool 20.4G 208G 49K /rpool
rpool/ROOT 10.8G 208G 31K legacy
rpool/ROOT/hostname_srs_2 10.7G 208G 6.59G /
rpool/ROOT/ hostname _srs_2@base_srs_install 74.1M - 4.05G -
rpool/ROOT/ hostname _srs_2@hostname_srs_1 72.2M - 4.48G -
rpool/ROOT/ hostname _srs_2@hostname_srs_2 72.3M - 6.59G -
rpool/ROOT/ hostname _srs_2/var 3.85G 208G 3.44G /var
rpool/ROOT/ hostname _srs_2/var@base_srs_install 22.7M - 1008M -
rpool/ROOT/ hostname _srs_2/var@hostname_srs_1 14.7M - 1.49G -
As always, your valuable advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks again,
George
