Boot off the BeleniX LiveCD. Your hardisk root partition should be mounted under /mnt/solaris0. Edit grub's menu.lst file: /mnt/solaris0/boot/grub/menu.lst and replace the existing multiboot entries with the following lines: kernel /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix module /plaform/i86pc/boot_archive Keep the line root(hd0...) unchanged. Also check that the file /mnt/solaris0/plaform/i86pc/boot_archive is present. If not then execute bootadm update-archive -R /mnt/solaris0 Regards, Moinak.
