Since the above post, I downloaded Super Grub and managed to recover a trashed
(grub) FC8 installation that was lost when nevada was installed some time back.
This now has as well as the FC 8 prompt in the Grub menu:
title Solaris - BE1
rootnoverify (hd0,2,a)
chainloader +1
makeactive
title Solaris - BE2
rootnoverify (hd0,2,e)
chainloader +1
makeactive
Selecting either of the Solaris choices receives:
Error13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
Back with Super Grub, selecting Partitions presents, amongst the other
partitions the two 15GB BE's I was using for live upgrade, namely:
N IDE SCSI GRUB HURD TYPE SIZE OS
.
.
3 hda3 sda3 (hd0,2,a) hd0s3 ufs 15GB
.
.
3 hda3 sda3 (hd0,2,e) hd0s3 swap 15GB
dropping back to a grub prompt and entering root returns:
root (hd0,2,e):Filesystem type is zfs, partition type 0x82
As I mentioned in my earlier post, the zfs BE had been deleted, but not the
zpool.
Any of the other Super Grub options to get the solaris running ends in failure.
Thanks for your time.
