I also wish I had that but thankfully using snapshots goes a long way
... Thanks a lot for your suggestion, I will try that when it's time for
the replacement.

Robin.

When you shut down your old system the final time:
touch /reconfigure
will cause the a reconfiguration reboot ('boot -r') on the next boot up.
Good luck with your project. I wish you had enough hardware on hand
to keep one system working while you were tinkering a second box.
That's the way I try to do it. If I like the way something is
working, that becomes my primary system and I fool around on the other
system.

I have not yet swapped the motherboard but I will give that a try, thanks
for the suggestion! I checked the man pages for 'boot' and interestingly I
could not find anything on the '-r' flag. I hope that OI has improved in
this area since b134 of Opensolaris and is more 'forgiving' with the
hardware swap.
But in the event of a freeze during boot, how can I temporarily force OI to
boot into a minimalized mode (without probing for hardware; single-user
mode?) so that I can issue said 'boot -r' command?

The problem is that the hardware on the new motherboard will most likely
be
located on PCI addresses that are different from the old one (with the
possible exception of the GPU and the NB). From my experience, the
installed
drivers on OI will not be happy about it so my question is how can I
reconfigure the drivers so that they use the pci addresses on the new
motherboard?
Did you try "boot -r" (reconfigure)?
