On systems that have a ZFS root, the active menu.lst file is typically located at /pool-name/boot/grub/menu.lst where "pool-name" is the mount point for the top-level dataset. On systems that have a UFS root, the active menu.lst file is typically located at /boot/grub/menu.lst. To locate the active GRUB menu, use the bootadm command with the list-menu option: # bootadm list-menu Determine if the system uses the GRUB boot loader.
