If you are installing a Solaris Flash archive from a release before the Solaris 10 10/08 release, the archive fails to install. Starting with the Solaris 10 10/08 release, if the archive is from the Solaris 10 10/08 release or later, the archive can be installed. The following error message is displayed:
bootadm: biodev command failed for disk: /dev/dsk/<c0t2d0s0>. bootadm: 1s_bootdisk(): cannot determine BIOS disk ID "hd?" for disk: /dev/dsk/<c0t2d0s0> bootamd: get_grubroot(): cannot get (hd?, ?,?) for menu. menu not on bootdisk: /dev/rdsk/<c0t2d0s0> |
Workaround: Choose one of the following workarounds:
Install a Solaris Flash archive from the Solaris 10 10/08 release or later.
If you need to install a Solaris Flash archive from a previous release, boot from the previous release and extract the archive.
