[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI boot problem

[GUY WOOLLEY]

It seems to come down to having the right X,Y parameters which I've now got, and I'm back in Firefox in my 0i_148-2.

I edited the grub menu for the live CD to make it correspond to my old 0i_148-2 and it booted.

Just for interest (and to prove publicly I know not what I'm doing) did all the business with zpool import, zfs mount, installgrub.....etc actually change anything ? Or is the answer to the original question of how to deal with a lost BE due to a failed mirror (which is still intact on its disk) simply to fire up a live image and edit its GRUB to point at the relevant disk?

I now need to make things permanent.

Thanks to all who helped

On two systems I have just checked:

$ ls -l
σύνολο 1
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-05-19 17:49 pool_rpool
$ more pool_rpool 
$ pwd
/rpool/boot/grub/bootsign


Now when you boot with the live thing just
make sure the file exists. Otherwise, created with

# touch /a/rpool/boot/grub/bootsign/pool_rpool


 Now the X and Y parameters in findroot (pool_rpool,X,Y)
corresponds to the disk partition (0 is the first one) and
the slice within the partition (slices start with a).
