Hi,

Actually when newboot i.e. GRUB boot was introduced we did away with the requirement that root slice needs to have the "root" tag and I booted Solaris all the time without the root tag. AFAIK this is still true with SXCE. I dont know if beadm (or Opensolaris) has reintroduced this requirement.

Hi Mark

yes it works! Compare to the scripts between yours and mine (ksh)
is the follwing
    I do not use fmthard

    I use the $PKG_IMAGE/boot/solaris/bin/update_grub that installes
    stage1 and stage2 from $PKG_IMAGE instead from the booted CD image
    (your)

    ther order when bootadm is execed, mine righer before update-grub
    vs uour atthe end


Since itr works, I;ll use yours and add the packages I need to the list

you need to make sure the disk is formated correctly. It needs to
be partitioned, then labeled with all the space in s0.  And you *MUST*
label s0 as root (took me a bit to figure out that one).

thanks!

Im using the http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev repository instead of http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release
everything installs just fine but it seems grub never get installed?

switch to http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release give me the same result..
If I do a window installation then it works.. so could it be something is missing in the pkg server and I would need to do a manually update? or some special
way to get grub installed?

Thanks

Here some output

during installation:
