I removed the s10u5 SUNWluxxx packages and replaced them by those of
Nevada (someone adviced this).
Here is the screen output from lucreate:

I have absolutely no idea why it is not possible to create a boot
environment.
installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 \
/boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c1d0s0
works OK.
I know /boot is overwritten creating a new boot env.
Should I perhaps install grub on c1d0s0 and the new ABE on another
slice? It may be a stupid question, but I really have no clue why it's
not working on a (furthermore very stable) S10U3 system.
