I found something new that probably hints at the underlying cause. When I start GRUB from the LiveCD, then enter shell mode by pressing 'c' and use the following command:

root (hd1,2)

GRUB hangs and I have to reboot using CTRL-ALT-DEL.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but for a (Open)Solaris
root filesystem inside a Solaris FDISK partition you would
also have to give the grub "root" command the Solaris vtoc
slice that contains the root filesystem, that is

    root (hd1,2,a)

Would that hang, too?

Yes, it hangs.


What happens when you use the TAB key at various places
in the root command to let grub auto complete valid values?
Does that hang?

    root ({TAB}

Displays "Possible disks are hd0 hd1"

    root (hd1,{TAB}

Hangs.

    root (hd1,2,{TAB}

Autocompletes to root (hd1,2,)


Do you know where I can obtain the source code for the OpenSolaris version of GRUB and whether it can be compiled under Linux?

Best regards,
