[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI stopped booting after 151a6 update.

[Gary Gendel]

Milan,

Please contact me directly if you need me to run some experiments or 
collect some data.  I tried Richard Palo's workaround but it only worked 
in the current session; a reboot brought it back and wouldn't go away 
with a re-applied fix.

I blew a6 away, but I can put it back if you tell me what you want me to 
try.  BTW, this is on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61p.
