Hi Jürgen,
Thanks for the detailed info/explanation - yeah, I'm able to boot
off of the DVD and point GRUB at my hdd to boot and that works fine. I
would like to be able to boot directly from BaseCamp or rEFIit though.
After booting directly into Solaris and doing an `installgrub -m
/boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c1d1s0` to explicitly
write out GRUB to the MBR I've made some progress. It at least shows:
GRUB
in the top left before hanging, rather than Bad PBR sig.
Any idea what error this might be indicating?
cheers,
steve
