[Solved] Install Oracle's GRUB 1.99 with Windows Loader. Solaris 11.1 (x86) multi-boot solution.

1057038Nov 27 2013 — edited Nov 28 2013

I installed Solaris 11.1 x86 on SATA disk using full disk installation option (c10d0 where c10d0s1 is rpool)

After installation finished I can not boot Solaris. No bootable device error.

Although I can start system via Solaris Live CD by choosing "Boot from Hard Disk" option.

So Live CD needs to run GRUB at the very first stage.

I'm trying to re-install GRUB and getting the error:

$ sudo installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c10d0s0

Device is EFI(GPT) labeled. Operation is not supported

Unable to gather device information for /dev/rdsk/c10d0s0


How to work this out, please?

I'm noob in Solaris and ZFS.

There some manuals, steps out there like running 'format -e' then something like 'zpool attach -f rpool c1t1d0s0 c1t2d0s0' and then run installgrub as above.

I choose only one hard disk to install and run Solaris. That commands seems not for me.
