OpenSolaris

Steps to reproduce the problem:
===============================

0) Prepare an x64 system, which has multiple disks
1) Install Solaris 10 5/08 (or earlier)
2) Configure a mirrored root file system with SVM

3) Go to Single User Mode

4) Install "Solaris 10 x86 Recommended Patch Cluster", which includes patch
   137138-09

   OR
   
   Install patch 137138-09 using patchadd(1M) command
   

Then, "bootadm update-menu" will hang when running postpatch script of
137138-09.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a) Use patchadd(1M) command as background process in Single User Mode.

   # patchadd 137138-09 &
   # pkill bootadm    <--- Kill bootadm process once it hangs.
   # pkill bootadm    <--- Kill bootadm process once it hangs.

   Note: We will need to kill bootadm process at least two times
         for a mirrored root filesystem with SVM.
OR

b) Use patchadd(1M) command in Multi User Mode though it is usually not
   recommended. In this case, "bootadm update-menu" will not hang when
   running postpatch script of 137138-09.

OR

c) Enable meta service usinng svcadm(1M) command with the -r option
   if it is disabled or uninitialized in Single User Mode.

   # svcadm enable -r svc:/network/rpc/meta:default

   If meta service is enabled, then "bootadm update-menu" will not hang when
   running postpatch script of 137138-09.
Please use only option c) as a workaround, i.e. run

	svcadm enable -r network/rpc/meta:default

immediately before adding patch 138138-09.
