[indiana-discuss] Big trouble going from 2008.05 B86 to B90 with pkg image-update + grub-

[Espen Martinsen]

Hi
I found out myself....

I changed 2 things, 
   - updated pkg software before image update
   - repository is now b91 !

SO,  this is what I did, And it worked perfectly, like any other Solaris-software!

- Install 2008.05 from scratch
 $ pfexec pkg refresh
 $ pfexec pkg install pkg:/SUNWipkg at 0.5.11,5.11-0.86
 $ pfexec pkg refresh
 $ pfexec pkg image-update
 $ pfexec mount -F zfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 /mnt
 $ pfexec /mnt/boot/solaris/bin/update_grub -R /mnt
 $ pfexec init 6

result:
SunOS esmpc 5.11 snv_91 i86pc i386 i86pc

esm at esmpc:~$ cat /etc/release
