If you're crashing, you want to add '-k' to the boot arguments as well as -v, etc. to load the debugger, which should give you time to read panic messages etc.
If with -k it stops at the debugger, the most useful thing is probably to include the panic-related output from the debugger's $<msgbuf command. It's somewhat common (unfortunately) for a particularly damage boot archive to look like this, and crash before even the debugger is loaded, if this is the case the below should let you rebuild it. Boot either an older boot archive or from a live CD (if from live CD, import the rpool etc). Mount the boot environment which will not boot: beadm mount <be name> /mnt Update the boot archive on it bootadm update-archive -vR /mnt -- Rich _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
