Booting from Grub CLI

Hi, Hoping someone out there has seen this before.

My backup/restore operation failed when my system ran out of memory

Restore operation failed
Setting ZFS Boot Environment to rootpool
cannot set property for 'rootpool': out of space
Installing GRUB Boot Loader into the first disk
stage1 written to partition 0 sector 0 (abs 16065)
stage2 written to partition 0, 273 sectors starting at 50 (abs 16115)
Reboot the system now to boot to the restored Operating System


now if I set my boot_device to bios or default all I can boot into is the GRUB CLI - no menu option seems to appear.

Grub> boot
Error 8: Kernel must be loaded before booting

Grub> boot -s
Error 8: Kernel must be loaded before booting

And if I try the reboot command the system just appears to hang.


I don't know where the kernel is located on this system, but when i try find commands i get zio read data errors.

grub> find menu.lst zio_read_data failed Error 15: File not found grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 io_read_data failed Error 15: File not found * grub>


Does anyone out there know how i can boot back into my OS from here?


Thanks.

Yeah it looks like Linux, I didn't do the original install but the only documentation I can find for reinstall is Linux. It seemed to behave like Solaris to me prior to its collapse though.

I registered this under hardware because I suspected the zpool warnings were what corrupted my restore but a forum administrator i think moved it to Solaris.
