Hi! So... nv is not an option as display is fuzzy beyond the point of readability on Tecra M2.
I downloaded the NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA's web site... and now the machine hangs at boot probing for drivers. How can I boot it in a way that it doesn't try probing for drivers? Or... best... how can I revert to build snv_90? I've manually edited grub to boot opensolaris-1 instead of opensolaris-2 ... but how can I completely remove the updated volume so that I'm just simply back to pre-snv_91 update... and wait for snv_92 (hoping the nvidia driver works again)?
