Basically what I did - I has a working OS (b96 IIRC) along with Windows on my notebook. Both systems were booting properly. I installed VB on Windows and created a VM with a Solaris partition exposed as a raw device - VB showed me Grub I chose OS and it failed on mounting rootfs. After Windows reboot I couldn't boot into OS (from HW not VB). I booted from LiveCD, imported the pool, exported, rebooted again and now it booted fine from bare metal - haven't tried from VB again. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
