Hello!

In one of my earlier update-tests i had a problem with the first 
OI-nvidia-525 version in cooperation with Virtualbox,
so i had the idea to test this:

I uninstalled 'userland-incorporation' and 'entire' as prerequisite to  
install nvidia version 515,
now it boots!

So, nvidia in the most recent version 525 stopped the boot process. (?)

i checked with NVidia Solaris Driver Archive that my chipset (Quadro 
M1200) is on the supported list for this version:
https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/199661/en-us/


How/Why should the display driver be able to interrupt the boot process ?
How/Why should the display driver be able to interrupt the boot process 
without further notice?
