Hi there, 

I was trying to do the exact same thing right now and stumbled on your post :)
I'm trying to circomvent a sun4v bug/feature in opensolaris (no jumpstart 
possible without it, it stops after "whoami: no domain name").

Haven't had much luck yet. Will keep you posted if I find anything... I thought 
grub wasn't involved in this, since the partition id is the same, it's just 
some slicing inside the Solaris2 partition that's defined.

I have this setup:
s0 - Solaris 10 u4
s1 - Solaris 11 snv82
s3 - swap
s4 - data

I'm trying to switch the drives with /etc/vfstab, but I think not only the 
structure of the vfstabs files must be the same, but also the first binaries 
that get loaded might not understand them (right before init starts doing its 
thing). I wonder when EXACTLY is menu.lst put into play, but I think that 
anyways something else must also be done.
