Solaris 10 x86 boot menu configuration
Is there a way to change its configuration? ...Currently I have WindowsXP installed on partition 0 and Sol 10 on partition 1. The boot menu lets me select between the Windows partition and the Solaris partitions but it defaults to the S10 one. I would like to boot Windows every time unless I specifically tell it otherwise but if I mark the Win partition active, I lose the boot menu - the S10 partition needs to be active.
I tried copying mboot to the root of the Windows partition adding an entry to boot.ini but says: "No active partitions" when I select it at boot time.
I saw that Sol 11 uses Grub. Can I use it with Sol 10 also? If so I'd appreciate help setting it up.
What are my options?
TIA :)
Thanks to your reply.
To be on the safe side, I tried to install Sol 10 on a used hard disk of 20GB that was lying around. Don't want to mess with the other hard disk of 120GB which contains lots of valuable info.
The 20GB hard disk had some bad sectors in the past. Booted the system from CD ROM and the OS started to collect hardware info. Glad it detected video card, monitor,key board and mouse. Proceeded with the installation after completing the intial phase of selecting the country,time and others selections.
After that, I ran into a problem with the following error repeating continously. Had to shutdown the system.
PCI@0,0/PCI-ide@4,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0 (Disk0)
Error for command 'read sector" error level - retryable
Required Block - 22177 Error Block - 22177
Sense Key: bad block detected
Vendor 'Gen-ATA" Error Code: 0x8
I will take your suggestion of creating another primary partition on the current hard disk of 120GB with a partition size of 20GB for Sol 10. Will keep the forum posted.

Creating Custom Solaris 9 x86 boot CDs
Does anyone know how to create custome Solaris 9 boot CDs for the x86 platform? I want to try and remove some of the packages that I don't need and see if I can get the boot CDs down to 1 CD (as I did with the Solaris Sparc version). I tried the steps layed out in "Building a bootable JumpStart Installation CD-ROM", but the CDs do not appear to be in the correct format. If I put these new CDs into a SPARC station, they appear to be layed out correctly. After some research I determined that the x86 CDs use El Torito with the .boot-image in the s2 slice, but it still doesn't work.
Here are the steps I have tried:
From the Jumpstart whitepaper
1. Extract slice 2 from the CD: find . -print | cpio -pudm /bicd/s2
2. Stop volume management: /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
3. Extract slice 0 from the CD: dd if=/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 of=/bicd/s0.image
4. Modify /bicd/s2
5. Make an ISO file: mkisofs -R -d -L -l -o /bicd/s9.image -B /bicd/s0.image /bicd/s2
6. Burn the CD: cdrw -i s9.image
I modified step 5 for an El Torito image:
Make an ISO file: mkisofs -R -d -L -l -o /bicd/s9.image -B /bicd/s0.image -b .boot-image /bicd/s2
The Jumstart whitepaper says to extract the vtoc separate, then calculate the cylinder boundaries and include it on the new CD. Whenever I include the extracted vtoc, the CD is completely unreadable. If I leave this step out of the Solaris Sparc version, everything works okay.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Does anyone know how to create custome Solaris 9 boot CDs for the x86 platform?

ZFS Configuration Question - Also posted in Solaris x86
Hello,
I have 2 x 140GB (hw Raid-0 + spare). About 20GB is allocated to Solaris on UFS (standard installation and partitions/slices).
I would like to allocate the 120GB left on the disk drive to ZFS. That space is not unallocated to any file system for now.
I found a lot of documentation of how to create a ZFS Pool on an empty disk drive. The documentation is less clear on how to do it on a drive already use by another FS.
Any help will be appreciated.
MichelDarren,
I just setup another Solaris x86 server tonight to play with. That future production server is in it's own vlan wtih no Internet access for now.
The test server has the same configuration, but less disk space.

Solaris 10 hanging at Configuring Devices during installation
Hi All,
I am trying to install Solaris 10 via cd or net, but it hangs at Configuring Devices. This is an upgrade to the current Solaris 8 OS that is running on this system.
Does anyone have any insight to this problem?
Thanks in advance,
BrianHaving the same problem here. Hangs at "Configuring devices" right after the SunOS license message. Didn't have any luck with "pci-reprog=off", so I still can't get past this point, but this could be because of my specific hardware. Did manage to figure out the GRUB kernel boot argument syntax though, from this article:
GRUB and the Solaris 10 1/06 OS: The New Bootloader for x86 Platforms
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/grub_boot_solaris.html
"Properties other than boot-file can be specified on the GRUB kernel command line with this syntax:"kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B prop1=val1[,prop2=val2...]Notice that commas are used between arguments. When I used spaces, only the first argument was understood. Found more info on booting from GRUB here:

x86: GRUB Menu Commands for Installation
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5504/6mkv4nh5e?a=view
I tried turning off dma for my cd & drives, and also tried turning off acpi, but nothing worked. Maybe somebody else here can make progress with this info though.

Hello
I have a 80gb hard disk set up with win xp pro along
with a 25gb unformated partition. Recently I installed
solaris 10 x86 to the 25gb partition from sun's
website. the installation setup automatically selected
the 25 gb space. all seemed to be working fine. the
only problem was after installation solaris boot
manager selected solaris automatically if no selection
of win xp was made within 30 seconds. since i needed
xp pro as a default i used the utility OSBS (boot.exe
and osbs135). as instructed i have entered the saved
solaris.bin from mbr to xp root and have entered
corresponding entry in win.ini file. the new boot
manager enables xp selection by default, xp pro boots
all fine but if i select solaris nothing happens
except a blinking cursor.
It seems to me that solaris partition is all fine and
healthy as I added few packages from solaris
installation cd few days back. Only problem is i m
unable to boot from it with the OSBS boot manager.
Is this a known problem?? or is there any better boot
manager?
Any advice/suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Many thanksHi, I am not sure if this would work but it might. First of all do you know if you delete the solaris partition then wouldn't it go back to booting to Windows? Just wondering about that. Well anyways here is my proposed solution that enables booting Solaris from Windows XP boot menu. Actually wait do you have a floppy drive on your laptop or a portable one. Because this solution requires that. Reply if you have one.

After installing Windows 2000 my x86 Boot partition got damaged.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem.
I can boot from the solaris partition from the installation disks but I would like to fix the x86 Boot partition so that I don't have to use the CD everytime I want to boot Solaris.
Thanks for your help!When you installed Windows 2000, I'm thinking it made IT'S system partition the active partition. You should be able to use Disk Administrator to set the Solaris boot partition active. Hopefully the Solaris boot partition has recognized your FAT/NTFS partition(s) so it will show up in the boot program menu. If not, you may have to get like Boot Magic or some freeware equivalent...

Yoga 3 Pro - Accessing BIOS, boot menu and System Recovery
The following tutorial will explain the following topics
How to access the BIOS Setup
Choosing a boot menu
Start a system recovery
It is not the idea to explain every single option of the above, since many of them are complex and it would be too extensive for such a tutorial like this.
To execute any of the tasks above you need to press the button marked with the red arrow in the picture below:
Press the button when the Y3P is off! Use a small pointing device, I use the tablet pen of one of my Thinkpad tablets
Once you press the button you will be presented with the following screen:
Use the cursor keys to move up and down, press Enter to choose an option.
1) BIOS Setup
The BIOS is where you can get technical information about your device, as well to change boot parameters and setting up security passwords. Be very careful when changing certain values, since it can affect the way the Y3P works and/or affect performance and security settings.
Information Screen
It gives the hardware details of the Y3P, like CPU, installed RAM, SSD capacity and so on. This is a display only screen, no settings can be changed here:
Configuration Screen
Time and date can be changed in this screen. Furthermore to deactivate the Wireless LAN and enable the Intel Virtual Technology. If you plan to use Virtual Machine software in your Y3P this setting must be enabled
Passwords can be set up in this section. Secure Boot settings can be changed here.
Primarily designed to protect users from rootkits and other malware attacks by blocking unauthorized executables and drivers from being loaded during the boot process, it must be deactivated if you plan to install Linux or having paralel operating systems
Boot Screen
Boot modes can be selected in this screen, you can disable booting from a USB stick or from a network for example
2) Boot Menu
This option is useful if you have Linux installed (using managers like LILO, GRUB, etc).
If you only use Win8 or higher there 's no much you can change.
3) System Recovery
This option will allow you to restore the system to either its factory setup, or to a previous backup done within Windows
A factory set up will leave the Y3P as it was shipped from Lenovo your private data and installed apps and/or programs will be wiped out. So make sure you have an external backup before such a resetOK article. Doesn't answer my questions.

Laptop won't load OS, won't enter BIOS/Boot Menu.
I recently installed Windows 7 Professional on my Compaq CQ56 PC, on a 260Gig HHD partition. I then installed Opensuse linux on the remainind 60Gig. However half way through installation my PC ran out of power and dhut down. I tried booting and changing the Boot Device menu, so that I complete installation, but it won't allow me to go into the boot menu (simply stops on the compaq start screen - fan and cd-rom will be working.) Is there a way for me to rectify this without losing my data?
It sounds as if you were never warned to always do an OS installation or anything that has to do with partitioning while on external power.
Please identify your notebook with more than just the model type. You have given an incomplete picture of your hardware configuration while reporting an extreme hardware/firmware issue. IT would help to remove the battery and take a look at the service tag. Please post the p/n (product number) here in your thread
There are a few things to try.
Remove the hard disk. Connect the power adapter and press the power button. Does the BIOS screen appear and warn that it can not find a bootable disk?
If it does not, then try a hard reset.
Try a hard reset as follows:
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button
Please post your positive or negative results here in your thread.
You can put the hard disk in an external housing and connect it to another PC to try torecover your data. What you will see will depend on the operating system of the PC that you use for data recovery.

[SOLVED] Using Apple's UEFI boot menu with Arch
Hello,
I've successfully installed arch on my mid-2012 (5,1) 11" Macbook Air, and now I'm trying to get an entry in apple's boot menu (the one that shows when you hold 'option' when starting the computer). From the author of rEFInd's install instructions (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html#osx) it sounds like I can just add some files to `/dev/sda1` (a vfat directory that contains the stuff needed to boot macos), and then run apple's `bless` command and we're good to go. Unfortunately I've tried this a bunch of different ways, to no avail. I think some of my failure is simply because of a misunderstanding of UEFI, here are some questions I (partially) don't understand and my current understanding of them:
1. Do I even need a bootloader on a pure GPT/UEFI system? It seems like the answer is no, and I can just use the UEFI firmware and the linux kernel to load Arch (per: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … ux_Kernel). Note: I'd like to have as little software between the firmware and the os, for speed and simplicity. However, I'd still like to dual boot, but it sounds like the firmware can handle showing me a menu as long as there are entries pointing to parts of each OS.
2. Will grub/rEFInd/syslinux do some of the work for me initially/on a kernel update? I think the answer is yes, which would be motivation (esp when I need to update the kernel) to just use a multibootloader and have it handle arch and the firmware pass control to either that or MacOS
3. Will `efibootmgr` brick my mac? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … FI_systems says it will, but I think the `grub-install` command uses `efibootmgr`, so should I not try grub on here (this package: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core … fi-x86_64/ ). Also some of the other packages (like rEFInd-efi) depend on efibootmgr, so does that mean any kind of an install from them (a command from the package, not the `pacman -S pkg` command) will also brick my system? (see rEFInd-efi dependencies: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … efind-efi/ )
I've been searching a bunch of different things, output of the `bless` commands I've been running, and have found the following:
* https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148647
* Using OSX to install rEFInd manually (moving the files around and using OSXs `bless` command) http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html#osx , I used the rEFInd files from Archs repos: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … efind-efi/ )
* The Wiki docs on rEFInd https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … ing_rEFInd
To summarize, I'm trying to set up a dual boot between MacOS (installed) and Arch (also installed, there's just no way to boot it on my system yet) using Apple's built in menu that deals with the EFI partition on /dev/sda1 . Thanks in advance for any help!

Not quite. That makes a boot loader bootable, but it doesn't add an entry to Apple's boot manager menu. There's a blog post somewhere by Matthew Garrett that describes the steps necessary to add something to Apple's boot manager, but I couldn't find it in a quick Web search. Maybe you'll have better luck, or be able to track down the same information somewhere else. As I recall, it involves using a separate HFS+ volume, creating two or three dummy files, and using "bless" in OS X.
1. Do I even need a bootloader on a pure GPT/UEFI system?
Yes, you do need a boot loader. It's important to distinguish between a boot loader and a boot manager, though. The former is a program that loads a kernel, and perhaps associated data, into memory and transfers control to the kernel. A boot manager presents a user interface that enables you to select which OS (or which boot loader) to launch. A boot manager is not strictly necessary, and Apple's EFI implementation includes its own simple boot manager, which is what you've been unsuccessful in configuring.
Note: I'd like to have as little software between the firmware and the os, for speed and simplicity. However, I'd still like to dual boot, but it sounds like the firmware can handle showing me a menu as long as there are entries pointing to parts of each OS.
Many people make do with the firmware's own boot manager, but this can be rather inflexible. I'm not even sure if Apple's boot manager can handle passing options to Linux kernels' EFI stub loaders. This ability is not absolutely required, but without it you must compile your options into your kernel at compile time, which greatly reduces flexibility since you can't modify the options on a per-boot basis -- say, to boot into single-user mode if this is required.
2. Will grub/rEFInd/syslinux do some of the work for me initially/on a kernel update?
The usual Arch Linux method of handling kernel updates is to overwrite an old kernel with a new one, so no boot loader/boot manager changes are required. If you want to keep numbered kernels around (as most other distributions do), GRUB provides scripts that can help automate changes, but they are required in the grub.cfg file. rEFInd can auto-detect boot loaders, and if you're using the EFI stub loader, that means that the kernel is its own boot loader, and with a proper configuration, rEFInd can detect new kernels without changing its configuration file.
SYSLINUX has some very early and very experimental EFI support. The one and only time I tried it (about a month ago), it wouldn't compile for me. (I don't know of a precompiled binary available on the Web -- the support is that new!) I don't recommend trying it unless somebody who's gotten it to work offers to help you personally.
3. Will `efibootmgr` brick my mac? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … FI_systems says it will, but I think the `grub-install` command uses `efibootmgr`, so should I not try grub on here (this package: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core … fi-x86_64/ ).
There were reports of efibootmgr damaging Mac firmware several months ago (I believe over a year ago). Since then I've seen claims that this problem has been fixed with recent kernels (3.0 and later, IIRC), but I've seen no substantiation one way or the other. Overall, I recommend caution....
Also some of the other packages (like rEFInd-efi) depend on efibootmgr, so does that mean any kind of an install from them (a command from the package, not the `pacman -S pkg` command) will also brick my system? (see rEFInd-efi dependencies: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … efind-efi/ )
On a Mac, I recommend installing rEFInd (or any other EFI boot loader) from OS X rather than from Linux. (Note that I'm rEFInd's maintainer, so that's an official recommendation from the software's developer.) Offhand, I don't know if the Arch package for rEFInd runs efibootmgr automatically on boot or just has it as a dependency because efibootmgr is the usual way to register a boot loader on UEFI systems. If the latter, it should be safe to install the Arch package for rEFInd, copy its files, and then reboot to OS X to run bless on it. It would be just as easy, if not easier, to install it completely from OS X, though. -
Boot data configuration missing or with errors
I have a Satelllite L870-15W, and no way to turn the system on.
All it says is "Toshiba" (the welcome screen) and then (after having pressed f8 or f9):

boot data configuration missing or with errors
It probably means the BCD is missing or corrupt.
To repair this, you need to access the recovery environment. Microsoft says Windows 8 will eventually take you there if it fails to boot many times. You can also get there using a System Repair Disc or a Windows 8 installation DVD like this downloadable one. You need the 64-bit disc.
It's possble this will also work on your Toshiba machine. Restart the computer by pressing the power button and immediately start tapping the F12 key until the Boot Menu appears. Using the arrow keys, select <HDD Recovery>.
WinRE looks like this. Select Troubleshoot and then Advanced options.
Lots of things to try. See KB2622803 for boot sector problems. The article assumes Windows Vista/7. The same fixes look different in Windows 8, but are all available.
If Automatic Repair (Startup Repair in 8.1) and System Restore fail, use the bootrec tool at the command prompt. This applies to Windows 8 also.
Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issu...
Don't give up until you have tried replacing the BCD itself as follows. (Sometimes the partition is not named "c" and you need to try another letter.)

How to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center ?
Hello people,
I want to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center platform.
If I'm not wrong, SunMC doesn't run for Solaris x86, server and client only as console with Java.
In speat of it, I try to install Sun Management Center 3.0 Agent for Solaris x86.
It seems to be ok, install packages, but when execute es-setup script, intents to create the following directory:
/opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
I supose that in this directory, SunMC will install sparc binary files
At this point, I can't follow the installation and abort it.
Can anybody give me ideas to install and integrate my solaris x86 server on SunMC ?
ThanksHi Hisham,

On the first node, the root.sh runs fine.
The following is the log.
bash-3.00# ./root.sh

Solaris x86 install ok, audio not working
I have installed V10 on an MSI AMD x86 (32bit) board, coexisting with my Windows,Linux and OS/2 partitions. All works ok, except audio.
This is an NVIDIA based board, and uses the NForce drivers. I saw one entry in the HCL about the Audio810 driver, but that didn't help.
I need audio to work to try out the Java Desktop Accessibility features.
ps, it works in Linux, Fedora Core 3.
I also installed a Creative PCI Soundcard, so could use this instead. The boot time configurator sees the hardware in the PCI slot, but never does anything with it.
help help..
thanks
SamI ran into this as well. As soon as it detects an audio error, it shuts down the "audio server". Once you get valid drivers (or a valid card, like the Sound Blaster), you have to activate the audio server function in JDS.
I can't remember exactly where is it located off the top of my head, but I had to do that last week when I ended up installing drivers for the Intel 82810BA audio chipset. Once I activated the audio server (or sound server or something like that), I was able to get full audio with the exception of the CD audio. I have no idea what that's about.
I remember that I found the audio server check box somewhere in one of the GUI configuration tools. Search around. You should be able to find it after a while.
