I have a V40z with Solaris 10 3/05 with latest patches installed.
Sometimes when I "init 6" GRUB will pause and not autoboot Solaris
despite my having set the timeout. If I hit return on the keyboard
the system boots. The load nears 10 before settling down to 0.

# bootadm list-menu
The location for the active GRUB menu is: /boot/grub/menu.lst
default 0
timeout 10
0 Solaris 10 3/05 s10_74L2a X86

I have a few S10 FCS systems with the same patch level which never
have this problem which makes me suspect a hardware problem.

Thoughts?

Are the grub versions the same?
