If you add the following to /boot/grub/menu.lst, it will appear in the grub menu.
$ echo “
title Solaris 10 1/06 Single User Boot
root (hd0,2,a)
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -s
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
” >> /boot/grub/menu.lst
Thanks It helped a lot
Vivek,
I literally lost count of how many times your site’s come up at the right moments and saved me a ton of time. good content = good seo? ;)
@Diabolic,
Heh.. glad to know it saved your tons of time :D I do not use any seo plugins or any sort of optimization such as All in One SEO Pack.
Vivek,
Its always been like that and I’ll tell you, its content that matters the most, content that people rely on, that people come back for. :) btw i put one of your links to my blogroll, but tell me if you prefer any other to be put there instead. its one way to thank you i suppose, even though my readers never reached teh 50 mark :P
