I installed ubuntu on a second drive and it didn't detect opensolaris and
overwrote the MBR on the first drive (that has opensolaris). I fixed ubuntu
simple enough so it's now installed into the MBR on second drive. So if I
choose the second drive in bios it boots fine. But I still can't get the mbr
reinstalled into the MBR on first drive.
The method I see a lot of people mention is this:
pfexec zpool import -f rpool
mkdir /tmp/a
pfexec zfs set mountpoint=/tmp/a rpool/ROOT/opensolaris
pfexec /sbin/installgrub /tmp/a/boot/grub/stage1 /tmp/a/boot/grub/stage2
/dev/rdsk/c7t0d0s0
My problem is with the mountpoint. Doing a directory listing of /tmp/a shows
it's blank. Other mounts like /export and /rpool are allready mounted. In an
effort to get around this I tried using the stage1 and stage2 from the cd
(/boot/grub/stage1 and stage2) but when I try to boot it just shows a blank
screen.
This is with opensolaris 2009.08
Some hopefully useful information:
