And precisely which version of Solaris 10? The first release was almost
5 years ago, and the 'current' version is the 8th update. Update 1 added
grub, and update 6 added ZFS boot. Both of these change significantly
booting.

Bertie,

If this is a Solaris 10 10/08 system with a UFS root, for example,
then your grub entries
look reasonable to me.

Maybe the problem is with the disk. I would boot from an s10 CD and
use format to
review the disk label to see if it is still intact.

Its Sol 10 05/09. I still seem to be able to access all my files if I
boot from failsafe.

Its just if I try to boot normally, it does the SunOs release 5
banner, then resets the machine and goes back into grub.
