Edit your grub menu list: # To enable grub serial console to ttya uncomment the following lines # and comment out the splashimage line below # WARNING: don't enable grub serial console when BIOS console serial # redirection is active!!! serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 terminal serial # # Uncomment the following line to enable GRUB splashimage on console #splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz And: title Solaris Nevada snv_61 X86 kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B console=ttya module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive The key is to get the grub to go to the console to allow you to select which kernel you want and then to add "-B console=ttya" to tell the kernel to use that same console port. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
