next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Before upgrading from 9.2 to 10.0, I created a new boot environment
named 'pcbsd10.0'
with beadm. Then I activated it, and renamed the 'default' environment
to 'pcbsd9.2'.
As a test of the backup BE, I deactivated 'pcbsd10.0', reactivated
'pcbsd9.2', and re-booted.
The machine failed to boot, and grub went into rescue mode:
GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!
error: file 'default' not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>
Apparently, it is still trying to find a BE named 'default'. I finally
booted up by doing
grub rescue> prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/ROOT/pcbsd10.0/@/boot/grub
grub rescue> insmod normal
grub rescue> normal
But this problem recurs every time I reboot, either into pcbsd10.0 or
pcbsd9.2.
