[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI boot problem

[GUY WOOLLEY]

Hello,
           I'm back at this - problem with pool_rpool continues. I get nothing from using "touch" as per your email below

jack at opensolaris:~$ pfexec zpool import -f rpool
jack at opensolaris:~$ pfexec mkdir /a
jack at opensolaris:~$ pfexec beadm mount 0i_148-2 /a
jack at opensolaris:~$ pfexec touch /a/rpool/boot/grub/bootsign/pool_rpool
touch: cannot touch `/a/rpool/boot/grub/bootsign/pool_rpool': No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong ?

Guy

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).
