[ug-bosug] Re: BeleniX 0.5 booting problem

[Sriram Popuri]

The read-only issue you are observing is because your / is read-only, you

after entering root password, run the following

svcadm clear system/boot-archive

Couple of others observed this issue as well. Seems some bug creeped-in
installer. I will look at this tomorrow.
