After poking through /var/adm/messages it became clear that SMF had disabled
cde-login. I tried
svcadm enable -r /application/graphical-login/cde-login
but that didn't solve the issue. Once again I just get an nVidia splash screen.
svcs -xv /application/graphical-login/cde-login
did not tell me anything useful. Just "disabled by administrator"
Unfortunately, I've never really gotten a good understanding of the SMF system.
There were messages in /var/dt/Xerrors "Referenced uninitialized screen in
layout!", but nothing else.
I'd really like to get this beast running properly so I can work on updating my
Hipster instance.

I finally finished scrubbing the 3 pools on the system. There were no errors
reported. In single user mode "zfs mount -a" seemed to mount everything as it
should. I checked the timestamps on the xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 which was
last modified in 2016.
But when I exit single user mode I get the nVidia splash screen. Same thing
if I just let grub do a normal boot. I don't get an xdm login prompt as I did
before it crashed.
With zfs reporting no errors I'm at a loss as to why the system is not
displaying the xdm login screen. I've not yet gone to look at the X error log,
but that is next.
The system is not hung because if I press the soft power switch it will revert
to the console and shutdown properly.
Anyone have any ideas? It reliably comes up single user.
Very puzzled,
