Reconfigure reboot for Solaris 10 u5 x86 guest in VirtualBox

807559Nov 12 2008 — edited Dec 24 2008
Hello,

I just installed the new kernal patch into a Solaris 10 u5 x86 32-bit guest OS in VirtualBox 2.0.4 on a WinXP 32-bit host. I need to do a reconfigure reboot. I can't seem to get to the ok prompt from which to use boot -r. init 0 does not work, it only offers a "push any key to reboot."

What is the optimal way to initiate a reconfigure reboot for Solaris 10 in my setup?

I tried the grub-based technique in which, upon reboot, I get the grub menu and push "e." That gets me to another grub screen with 3 entries. I selected the kernal entry, pushed "c" to add "-r" to the end of the line, and then "b" to reboot. Is that the best way to reconfigure reboot for Sol 10 x86.

The above method did configure devices on reboot, but I'm not sure that is the best way to boot -r

Thank you in advance...
