This is my first time trying to use Xvm with ZFS root - `bootadm -m upgrade` has always worked for me in the past... I have a fresh install of b97 with ZFS root and get the following error running `bootadm -m upgrade` bash-3.2# bootadm -m upgrade bootadm: failed to determine fdisk partition: rpool/ROOT/snv_97 bootadm: Cannot find GRUB signature for / I get this error even after following the advice in this thread bash-3.2# cd /boot/grub bash-3.2# cat menu.lst ***Do not edit*** The menu.lst file for this system is in /rpool/boot/grub. bash-3.2# mv menu.lst menu.lst-old bash-3.2# ln -s /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst menu.lst bash-3.2# bootadm -m upgrade bootadm: failed to determine fdisk partition: rpool/ROOT/snv_97 bootadm: Cannot find GRUB signature for / I also tried to follow the advice in this thread, but `pfexec` can''t find `pkg`: bash-3.2# pfexec pkg image-update pkg: Command not found Any advice? Thanks, Kent

Yeah that didn''t work for me either.

Hey,

The menu.lst file for this system is in /rpool/boot/grub.

Any advice?
