Solaris 11 boot problems - Filesystem services

One of my our customisations on Solaris 10 is to change the root home directory from "/" " to "/export/home/root"/ The default on Solaris 11 is that root's home directory is "/root". Leave it like this, Solaris 11 doesn't cope well with that being changed.

UPDATE: It might be because that I was trying to set root's home to "/export/home/root" specifically rather than something other than "/root". Directories "/export" and "/export/home" in Solaris 11 are created automatically as part of rpool. Even if you're migrating a Solaris 10 non-global zone container to run as a Solaris 10 branded zone on Solaris 11 - this can cause problems. So after your migration, change root's home directory to "/root".
