Has anyone seen this unexpected behavior using the eeprom command on 111a? # perform an osol 111a CD install. The menu.lst file after instal is ... splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz background 215ECA timeout 30 default 0 #---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ---------- title OpenSolaris 2009.06 findroot (pool_rpool,0,a) bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm foreground d25f00 background 115d93 kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphics module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive #---------------------END BOOTADM--------------------
# Now update the console device using "eeprom console=ttya". This updates menu.lst via bootadm. The new menu.lst file looks like ... splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz background 215ECA timeout 30 default 1 #---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ---------- title OpenSolaris 2009.06 findroot (pool_rpool,0,a) bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm foreground d25f00 background 115d93 kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphics module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive #---------------------END BOOTADM-------------------- #---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ---------- title Solaris bootenv rc findroot pool_rpool kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B console=ttya module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive #---------------------END BOOTADM-------------------- #BOOTADM RC SAVED DEFAULT: 0 The new menu.lst entry becomes the default but the system won't boot from this. After adding -B $ZFS-BOOTFS to the kernel line it works fine. I was expecting the second entry to be identical to the first (except for the modified console=ttya parameter). Is this a bug or have I misunderstood? -paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
