If you boot your system and you receive a ''mountroot>'' command prompt, it may be due to a change in the location of the boot device. This can occur when the installation was made on another machine and then transferring the HDD without an adjustment to the ''/etc/fstab'' file, or if a card reader is involved (including card readers on a USB dongle). The solution is to enter ''ufs:/dev/da1'' at the prompt (it will always be ufs for the installer media). Depending on the exact location of the boot media, it may be different than ''da1.'' Typing <code>?</code> at the prompt should display available devices.

If you boot your system and on single user mode receive the message Solaris: NOTICE: Cannot find the pool label for 'tank' with error 5. Its generaly a problem of delay with USB HDD. After having the <mountroot>, mount the zfs root file system : type <code>zfs:tank/ROOT/initial</code>. And then, in your /boot/loader.conf, add the line <code>kern.cam.boot_delay="10000"</code>. That instructs the system to wait 10 seconds (10000 milliseconds) during boot to give time for the CAM subsystem probes to complete (USB storage devices use the CAM subsystem).
