You could try booting Firefly and figuring out what's wrong with the host:<br>

Cool; I'll have to make a note of that, that could be useful in the future.<br>

Have there been any thoughts on restoring the failsafe boot option in grub that Solaris has and be able to do a recovery boot without needing other media (and one that uses the same versions as you currently have installed, rather than a third party ISO that might not match your system)? Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with the methodology, but it seems you'd just have to generate the equivalent of /boot/x86.miniroot-safe for omnios? Would that be a distribution level thing, or an upstream illumos thing?<div class="HOEnZb">
