Hi all,
So I did what everyone else is suggesting to go from b90 to B91. But I
can't get grub to default to booting the new BE, because (I think) beadm
wont allow me to activate it. I am now booted into it fine by selecting
it manually from grub, however...
12 ]beadm list
BE Active Active on Mountpoint Space
Name reboot Used

opensolaris-4 no yes - 4.37G
opensolaris-5 yes no / 796.43M

But:

And when I boot, I get snv_90 - i.e. opensolaris-4.
So, what have I fubar'd?
Many thanks,
Mark.
