I have installed Solaris 11 Express on my computer and set up a script to make daily snapshots of all filesystems and send them to a backup disc.

Now I'm trying to replace the system disc using a set of captured snapshots. I have found an article on that topic on the internet and have been experimenting with the recomended procedure for a while.

Here is a list of exactly the steps I take (c8d0 is the identifier of the new hard disc):

1.
I boot from the USB Install image downloaded from Oracle
I type

fdisk -B /dev/rdsk/c8d0p0

to relabel the new disc to a Solaris2 partition

2.
I import the backup disc:

zpool import -f backup


3.
I create the root pool:

zpool create -f -o failmode=continue -R /a -m legacy rpool c8d0p0

4.
I install the grub and the MBR:

installgrub -fm /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c8d0s0

5.
I import the rpool, rpool/ROOT, rpool/ROOT/solaris, rpool/export and rpool/export/home filesystems this way:

zfs send backup/rpool@[timestamp] | zfs receive –F rpool

6.
I set the boot property for the root partition:

zpool set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/solaris rpool

7.
I create the dump and swap fs:

zfs create -V 2G rpool/dump\n
zfs create -V 2G -b 4k rpool/swap

8.
Finally I reboot the system:

init 6


But then, when the pc reboots, the boot process stops on this message:

Verifying DMI Pool Data ..................
GRUB _

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your answers, Dusan
