Thanks for that explanation of why there is no failsafe boot option for OpenSolaris. I had wondered about that, since I'd seen it in Solaris Nevada/Express.

After all, if a user wants to run an OS without knowing how to administer it, he should use Windows or Ubuntu or OpenSUSE, for example. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
