I have not done the re-enabling when I shut down the system, and now the system will permanently wait on a graphic line display that toggle between left and right. Although I am now able to boot into the first BE (with snv 111b as the kernel version), but all my latest stuff is in the /root partition of the 2nd BE (running snv 126). zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool 28.7G 19.3G 81.5K /rpool rpool/ROOT 24.4G 19.3G 19K legacy rpool/ROOT/opensolaris 75.1M 19.3G 20.2G / rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 24.4G 19.3G 21.3G / rpool/dump 1.47G 19.3G 1.47G - rpool/export 1.28G 19.3G 21K /export rpool/export/home 1.28G 19.3G 21K /export/home rpool/export/home/xxxx 1.28G 19.3G 1.28G /export/home/xxxx rpool/swap 1.47G 19.7G 1.06G - So questions are: a. How to go into the rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 BE to reenable the gdm, without booting into it to do the work? b. How to mount the rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 partition, when currently I am mounted in the rpool/ROOT/opensolaris partition? Must I switch it to legacy mode? And after that copying over the files, can I remove the legacy mode so that I can boot into it again as the 2nd BE? Sorry for so many questions asked, I am a totally newbie.....thanks. > > If you were using later builds, from the /dev repo, or 2010.03 when it > comes out, then you could just hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to a virtual > console running in text mode, but that's not functional yet in 111b. > > -- > ? ? ? ?-Alan Coopersmith- ? ? ? ? ? alan.coopersmith at sun.com > ? ? ? ?
