[OmniOS-discuss] failsafe boot?

[Robin P. Blanchard]

Replying to myself here...
Presumably my other BEs are failing since my rpool is now upgraded.

So I've decided to try to boot from latest ISO and attempt to mount the BE and fix it.

so what am I missing here:

from live media:

# mkdir -p /rescue

# zpool import -R /rescue 14750227168826216208
