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

[russell]

Hi,

My OpenIndiana desktop rpool is still using Grub during boot, my rpool 
is an mirrored pair of disks which have been replaced a few times but is 
still the same partitioning from when I was using OpenSolaris.

Regards

Russell
