I downloaded the latest Solaris Express last night and installed it on my box.  
The install went great and no problems showed up during the install.   With the 
install done, I tried to boot.  No go.  If I choose the default grub option, a 
couple things flash on the screen so fast I can't read them, then the entire 
system reboots.   If I choose the Safe Mode option, I get a command prompt and 
it appears to mount my / drive as /a just fine.  I can 'cd' and 'ls' to my 
hearts content.

At this point, I don't have enough Solaris experiance to figure out what is 
wrong.  Would there be a log somewhere?  It seems like it is dying early enough 
in the boot that it probably hasn't started writing any logs yet.  I've been 
digging through the documentation and forums, but haven't seen anything like 
this yet.

Related question, is there a document somewhere of the Solaris file structure 
layout?  Something like 
http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugfilestruct.html

System info:
HP Netserver LH6000r
Quad PIII Xeon 700
2GB ECC SDRAM
Adaptec 7880
Serverworks HE chipset
Intel Pro/100 nic

Thanks in advance.
