Solaris x86 bootarchive recover In Solaris 10 update 1 onwards new boot archicture was introduced to
use Grub as the bootloader. Sometimes on x86 machines if boot archive is
corrupt system doesnot bootup . To recover boot archive follow the below
steps.
While in the Grub screen select "Solaris Failsafe" entry. This will
boot into a minimal recovery mode. It will detect your Solaris install
on harddisk and ask user to
whether to mount it on /a . Reply "y" to that question.
Now execute the following commands:
#rm -f /a/platform/i86pc/boot_archive
#bootadm update-archive -R /a
Next reboot using the command: init 6 .
This should recover the bootarchive
