Okay, booting into the development boot menu option and not openindiana-1 allowed me to get in to the system. I then ran update manager and did an update. It created openindiana-2 which is now booting up like normal.
What an experience. :-) I need some more major X help. Can someone email me privately? Or recommend a place to get that help? Best regards, Rick C. Hodgin On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 10:45 PM, Rick C.
