Hey Richard
There are a couple of things you can do on the Prompt.
Depending on future situations there are the commands 'lsdev' 'lszfs'
and boot. In this specific instance a lot of these utilities where
broken aswell. But they can give you the name of the boot environment.
I think tsoome can give some links to tutorials and guides from the
FreeBSD loader people.

Please let also the openindiana-discuss list know when the real 2.37 binutils
is safe and included; some of us don't subscribe to the oi-dev list.
I'd also admit to some curiosity what the problem with 2.37 was, once that's
understood.
Not to mention whether there's anything that one can do at the "ok" prompt when
something like that happens. Booting the optical media image and activating a good BE
saved me, but it'd be nice to know all my options.

Hi all,
It is now safe again to update.
I had to revert the binutils-2.37 update and instead created a fake 2.37
package version that delivers the older 2.36.1 version.
With that I have re-published the latest illumos-gate packages and
successfully installed them on my machines.
Thanks to Toomas Soome for helping me and analyzing the problem.

Hi all,
something bad has happened with the last updates and rendered two of my
build servers unbootable. They are both stuck in the boot loader ("start
not found") such that
booting with an old BE won't fix that!
SO DON'T UPDATE YOUR SYSTEMS FOR NOW!
I fear that my update of binutils-2.37 may be the culprit.

Andreas
