Thanks Matt - you've put your finger on the problem. I have no /a/boot/grub !
I'd noticed that the live USB image has /boot/grub with the entries you
identify. I wasn't sure what to make of that.
I don't really get your line
"exchanging PATH for the mount path to what was the active boot environment, not
just the root of the pool."
I meant PATH is where you've mounted you desired boot environment, which
appears to be /a. I wasn't sure if you'd simply mounted the 'rpool' into /a or
'rpool/ROOT/be-name'.
what was the active boot environment ? How do I discover that ?
I'm no expert on the internals of the beadm tool. Or even if it can mount boot
environments from another pool.
But if you 'zfs list' you should see rpool/ROOT/opensolaris (or similar, that's
what my original one was called, and look for the files in there.
In any case, can't you run the 'installgrub' command sourcing the stage1 and
stage2 files from the live USB mount and install them onto your drive??
Matt.

Hello,
The search I have done so far gave me no answer, just to make sure
that I am not missing something important, I would like to ask you
some general questions about xVM and oi.
I have a server running Opensolaris and xVM, will it be able upgrade
to the first stable release of OI? It looks like the xVM project is
fading away... is this setup running into a dead-end? Should I take
the machine down and reconsider the whole setup now that I can? Will
the new Xen based products made by Oracle fit into OI?
Thank you guys, sorry for disturbing,
All the best.
Gabriel

**************************************************
According to Harry Foxwell, the xVM project was dropped because Oracle
already had a virtualization "package" available. Personally I think
that they should have moved forward with xVM but it was scrapped
officially (more or less) as of build 134(a?) I believe.
