Hi, You can restore the GRUB by booting from live CD like Belenix and do a manual grub install in the solaris partition which will be mounted by default by the live CD. I did it once to recover the GRUB and it works fine. Cheers Sreedhar GS Sun CA, MIT, Chennai.

I dont think Ubuntu's bootloader (GRUB) can chain-load SXDE's GRUB. What is the solution? I dont want to blow away my SXDE partition. In Ubuntu I can boot using a livecd and restore the MBR ( by installing GRUB by hand). Is something similar possible in the OpenSolaris world as well? if so, how do i do it? Also, can i mount my ext3 partition in SXDE? I know I can mount UFS partition in ro mode in linux.
