I booted from the Live CD. It doesn't automatically mount the solaris partition. If I do it manually like so: angad at opensolaris:/mnt# mount -F zfs /dev/dsk/c5d0p1 /mnt/sol It gives error: cannot open '/dev/dsk/c5d0p1': invalid dataset name What is the proper way of mounting the opensolaris 2008.05 partition from another one?
