Hello,
I have a big problem: My system does no more boot since I have moved with zpool
command my partition. When my partition boots, a empty grub prompt starts. When
I type findroot, it says: Unexpected command. I'm suspecting to have a wrong
grub version. It seems that it does not include ZFS functions.
When I boot from livecd, I can import the partitions with "zpool import rpool".
But how to tell Solaris to reinstall grub with the setup of the rpool volume.
I tried with installgrub. But it gave me an empty grub prompt at boot time.
I tried with beadm to reactivate the opensolaris boot environement but I get
the following error:
root at opensolaris:~# beadm list

SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. Create a partition
2. Specify the active partition
3. Delete a partition
4. Change between Solaris and Solaris2 Partition IDs
5. Exit (update disk configuration and exit)
6. Cancel (exit without updating disk configuration)
Enter Selection:
Note that partition 2 (Ext Win95) was the old Solaris2 partition. Is it
possible that there is still a conflict between the old label and new label?
