[OpenIndiana-discuss] No GUI after upgrade yesterday

[Reginald Beardsley]

FWIW I had to switch from a 2 GB Atom system for internet access  to a Z400 with 8 GB of DRAM because I could not run Firefox with just 2 GB.  Welcome to code bloat.

 I have a laptop, an ASUS Eee PC 1005PE, that now has 2 gigs
 of memory.
 The memory upgrade allowed me to do a package upgrade from a
 Hipster
 BE of 2017-06-10 to yesterday's version of 2019-03-01
 .  The upgrade
 ran normally, with no error messages.
 
 The reboot seemed normal.  It booted with the loader
 instead of GRUB,
 but I'm used to that.  However, there was no login GUI,
 just the text
 login.  How do I fix that problem?
 
 Using the console login, I was able to activate the previous
 BE and
 boot back into it.  This worked, except that GRUB had
 disappeared.  It
 still booted with the loader, and ran the old BE.
 
 Now I have another problem.  I had an entry in the GRUB
 menu to boot
 the Windows FDKISK partion, but this too has
 disappeared.  How do I
 boot the Windows partition now?
