Bonjour Jlliagre,
I'm sorry I couldn't post it before. During the install the message gets cleared when more text is written.
Now I tried it from the shell:
installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0
and same thing with /dev/rdsk/c1d0s0
Here is the output (I have to type manually so any mistake is mine. I couldn't capture the output on Solaris so I am looking at one machine and typing here.)
Code:
stage1 written to partition 0 sector 0 (abs16065)
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@e/ide@0 (ata2):
timeout: abort request, target=0 lun=0
this line repeats 3 times and then:
WARNING: /pci0@0,0/pci-ide@e/ide@0/cmdk@0,0 (Disk0):
Error for command 'write sector' Error Level: Informational
stage2 read/write error: read 512 bytes, wrote -1 bytes
stage2 written to partition 0, 149 sectors starting at 50 (abs 16115)
Sense Key: aborted command

Yes, exactly. Now I can enter my system with r/w without problems using this method. No errors.

Yes, same brand and size and model number.

No, I didn't. From the information I read you can do that and add a drive anytime of course, but they mentioned some benefits to doing it from the beginning. Easier booting from both drives
I notice that the /boot/grub/menu.lst has no entries in it. I don't understand how this can be, but the system didn't create a menu. It has a skeleton with commented entries but there is no entry for Solaris. This is a separate problem I think but is probably related.
Thank you,
