[OpenIndiana-discuss] metainit service not running

[Brogyányi József]

I have to apologize I'm not follow every day the illumos changing or 
updating.
I appreciate the help of Andreas. It was so quick and straightforward.
The next command was enough for my system:
svccfg delete metainit
Thanks again.

Best regards
Brogyi
