    I upgraded a system from 012 to 018 just now and everything went totally smoothly - system rebooted fine.  However, the boot environment names weren't what I wanted and since beadm can't rename the active one, I create a new one, activated it, and rebooted again.  On reboot this second (and subsequent times), I'm getting this in /var/src/log/system-boot-archive:default.log:

    [ Mar 20 14:25:01 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/boot-archive"). ]
    cannot find: /etc/cluster/nodeid: No such file or directory
    cannot find: /etc/devices/mdi_ib_cache: No such file or directory
    cannot find: /etc/devices/retire_store: No such file or directory
    [ Mar 20 14:25:50 Method "start" exited with status 0. ]
    [ May 18 05:20:09 Enabled. ]
    [ May 18 05:20:14 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/boot-archive"). ]
    [ May 18 05:21:15 Method or service exit timed out.  Killing contract 16. ]
    [ May 18 05:21:15 Method "start" failed due to signal KILL. ]

    The system eventually comes up to a single user mode login, and if I login as root, and enter "svcadm clear system/boot-archive" and/or maybe just wait a while longer, then logout the system eventually comes up and works fine in multi-user mode, but I was wondering if there is an easy way to fix whatever I've done to shoot myself in the foot here?  I tried "bootadm update-archive" but that doesn't appear to fix it.
