Q:
How do I get the system to come up on the GRUB menu on the Solaris OS all the time?
A:
Install Solaris GRUB
stage1 on the master boot section by running
installgrub -m <stage1> <stage2> /dev/rdsk/<root slice>.
See the installgrub(1) command for specifics on “stage1” and “stage2” arguments.
Q:
I somehow trashed my boot archive after going into failsafe mode and fixing a configuration file. No matter how many times I rebooted into failsafe mode, I couldn't get it to regenerate the archive and allow me to boot up.
A:
Boot into failsafe mode, and after answering 'yes' to the 'updated archives' question, your real disk-based root file system should be mounted on /a. Run the command - bootadm update-archive -f -R /a.
