grub goes into "rescue mode" after renaming 'default' boot environment

2014-03-03 Thread Kostas Oikonomou
Before upgrading from 9.2 to 10.0, I created a new boot environment named 'pcbsd10.0' with beadm. Then I activated it, and renamed the 'default' environment to 'pcbsd9.2'. As a test of the backup BE, I deactivated 'pcbsd10.0', reactivated 'pcbsd9.2', and re-booted. The machine failed to boot, a
