[OpenIndiana-discuss] Unable to boot to any new environments

[Cal Sawyer]

Hi

Pretty new to OI (oi_151a.) and having a mini-ordeal with BE's. After a 
couple of package installs, i now have the original and 2 newer BE's:

When i reboot, the last entry, openindiana-2 (R) is offered as default 
but upon selection fails and quickly returns to the grub menu.  Only the 
top menu item (N) will successfully boot

Am i missing something with regards to prepping the latest BE for boot?

Also, could someone comment on what triggers creation of a new BE during 
package installation?  Do all packages do this by default and what 
install conditions necessitate creation of a new BE?

cheers,
