[OpenIndiana-discuss] Warning: cannot find boot/zfsloader after pkg update today

[Jason Martin]

pkg update killed my older desktop today.

I was able to download text installer and go through irc
on a latop with no hard drive and a bootable flash drive and learn
how to access to rpool data.

I then tried to update older laptop and same thing happened

Both machines amd64 around 2009.

Make cp of /boot into /root before laptop reboot.

These are the only pieces of broken hardware I own.

This is probably https://www.illumos.org/issues/9167

Until the packages are fixed, save copies of your working
/boot/gptzfsboot and /boot/zfsloader, put them back after the pkg update
and reinstall them with bootadm install-bootloader -v -f

Ok, I will try that.

Thank You.

Grade A OK on the laptop.

Many, Many thanks!
