Hi,

Just to be clear, I am currently running a BE created on 2018-08-11 
@11:01, I have performed a number of updates and created new BE since 
then but have deleted them when I can not use them with VirtualBox.

This morning I attempted to boot from the BE environment created 
2018-11-02 @ 14:57, I got the splash screen with the horizontal line but 
then as before my computer rebooted unexpectedly. When the reboot to 
place it automatically booted into the 2018-08-11 BE. I mounted the 
broken BE with

# beadm mount oihipster201811-01 /tmp/broken

Then proceeded to look at /tmp/broken/var/adm/messages, the file 
contained no reference date of Nov 03, syslog also contained no 
reference to Nov 03. Checking the time stamps on the files, nothing 
appeared to be dated Nov 03. It was though the BE had never been booted.

Regards

Russell
