[indiana-discuss] Blocker bug in 2008.11 RC1b - grub not installed correctly

Sun Nov 9 15:18:40 PST 2008

But only if you install into a FDISK partition (that possibly already did
contain some earlier version of Solaris).

Doing an install to the WHOLE DISK does not have the problem (as we just
learned backstage at CEC...)

And: Once installed, during booting, the "image" seems blurred (red vertical
lines in the lower part, below the section, where the moving slider to show
the progress is located)

And we don't know yet, if this is an Java FX bug or an OpenSolaris bug: JavaFX
doesn't take INPUT on that RC candidate in 64 bit, we needed to boot in 32 bit
in order to get INPUT through an JavaFX app...
