Hi, I just upgraded an aged OpenSolaris 2009.6 to OpenIndiana 148 and I
have a silly but annoying issue.

When doing "init 6" or, even, "reboot", the OS shutdowns and reboot
inmediatelly, but the machine not actually reboots.

That is, the system is shutdown and the kernel reboots inmediatelly,
just like would do a "zone reboot", but the machine doesn't powercycle,
doesn't show the BIOS, doesn't show the POST, and, the really annoying
thing in this case, doesn't show the GRUB menu. And this is critical to me.

The machine is in a remote datacenter, but I have KVM access. What can I
do?.

My GRUB entry is: (just in case is something related to the way I launch OI)
