Which beadm bug are you referring to that caused these failures?
11221 beadm create core dumps on OpenSolaris 122 SPARC

Fixed now - thanks to David Comay for making it happen!
Is your system still missing /rpool/boot/menu.lst? If it is missing
and you're reliably hitting this then you're likely to hit the issue
going from build 124 to 125. As for this being reproducible on build
111b I'm still completely unable to reproduce this there. However I am
able to hit this with build 124 now. Because I can now reproduce this
I'm reopening bug 7880.
As mentioned, because of 11221, I've done quite a few image-updates
from snv111b. It fails every time. snv111b was installed by building pkg
from source on sxce snv103 and using it to install to a separate disk..
For sure, this process didn't create /rpool/boot or /rpool/boot/menu.lst.
Just read your comments appended to 7880.
I'm able to reproduce this in build 124 and it appears to be
something strange with fgets() not returning the contents of the file
correctly.
This sounds different. The problem was that image-update failed
if rpool/boot didn't exist, and it also failed if rpool/boot existed
but rpool/boot/menu.lst didn't (different error message).
As requested: the output from beadm (note the root pool is called
tpool - don't ask :-) - and there /is/ a tpool/boot/menu.lst):
# uname -vp
snv_124 sparc
# export BE_PRINT_ERR=true
# beadm create newbe
# ls /tpool/boot/
menu.lst
It worked just fine, and there is a menu.lst now. Moving it away...
# beadm create newbe
be_open_menu: menu.lst file /tpool/boot/menu.lst does not exist,
WARNING: menu.lst file /tpool/boot/menu.lst does not exist,
generating a new menu.lst file
So far so good. But:
# mv boot xboot
# beadm create newbe
be_open_menu: menu.lst file /tpool/boot/menu.lst does not exist,
WARNING: menu.lst file /tpool/boot/menu.lst does not exist,
generating a new menu.lst file
be_copy: failed to add BE (newbe) to boot menu
be_copy: destroying partially created boot environment
Unable to create newbe.
Missing boot menu file.
So it is partially fixed - if rpool/boot exists, it will succeed. But if
rpool/boot
is missing, it still fails. Maybe I should add these outputs to the bug, which
obviously is very low priority since the workaround is trivial, although I
imagine the fix for this aspect is equally trivial :-)
