Restart skips grub menu

Hello:

I have a system with 1 SATA HD, it has windows 7 on it (Which takes the first 2 partitions)
OpenSolaris 5.11 snv 126 is on a 3rd partition.
(It did it in snv 125 also so I updated system to 126 but still doing it)

If I powerdown and then turn it back on, I get the Grub menu fine.

If I am in OpenSaolris , and do a restart, it just restarts right back into OpenSolaris with no grub menu

timeout is 30 seconds so that is not it.

Any ideas?

I did a lot of searching both on OS forums and google, yet have not found anything.
It is probably my choise of terms, someone else must have this same 'issue"

That's the "fastboot" feature.

"reboot -p" should perform a full reboot.

Thanks!

Can I turn it off completely?

See the EXAMPLES section in the reboot(1M) manual page:


The following commands disable the fast-reboot-by-default
behavior.

example# svccfg -s "system/boot-config:default" \
setprop config/fastreboot_default=false
example# svcadm refresh svc:/system/boot-config:default

The following commands re-enable the fast-reboot-by-default
behavior.

example# svccfg -s "system/boot-config:default" \
setprop config/fastreboot_default=true
example# svcadm refresh svc:/system/boot-config:default
