[OpenIndiana-discuss] Unable to boot from BE created today

[Till Wegmüller]

Hi

I just updated today and It worked flawlessly.

I am curious why you are getting a splash screen with a Horizontal Line
though.

Are you using Grub still? AFAIk Loader does not put any Splash screen
lines on the Boot command line by default

Greetings
Till
