The update went very, very smooth. Excellent instructions. It's curious now that I have two grub entries for the snv91 build (in addition to the entry for the 2008.05 version). One is opensolaris-1 and the other is "Solaris 2008.11 snv_91 X86". Why the two entries (they booth seem to boot the same version)? And why is one titled "Solaris" instead of "OpenSolaris"?
