Hello,
It was hard to boot my laptop this morning... I've tried several times, but no
way... No graphical login available...
Thinking about the latest steps and changes I did yesterday, I remembered
disabling nwam to configure the network manually. Of course, I didn't specified
the "-t" option to enable it again during the next reboot, and it looks like
gnome doesn't like to start up without a network interface (I will try to find
out why later).
Hopefully, GRUB allows you to boot in single-user mode easily:
-> Type "e" to edit the usual boot entry
-> Change the "kernel" entry to add the "-s" option to the boot
< kernel /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS
> kernel /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -s -B $ZFS-BOOTFS
-> Type "b" to boot
-> At the login prompt, type root/passwd
-> svcadm enable nwam
-> Ctrl+D
And the graphical login started as usual...
The good point is that this is the first time in the last 2 years that I have
to boot OpenSolaris in single-user mode :-)
Javi
