The extra entry in the grub menu is written by the update-grub call. That's the entry titled "Solaris 2008.11 snv_91 X86" and this will boot whatever BE is the active BE. That's because that entry has no bootfs line so it will boot whatever the root pool has it's bootfs property set to. The other entry allows you to boot that BE even if the root pool's bootfs property is set to another BE. This entry was created by pkg when opensolaris-1 was created for the image-update. -evan > > Regards, > > Marty > > On 6/20/2008 6:19 PM, Alan Steinberg wrote: >> The development repository, pkg.opensolaris.org, has been updated to >> Build 91.
