OpenSolaris snv_118 doesn't boot in VB 3.0.2

[wfiveash]

While running a OpenSolaris snv_116 VB guest I did an upgrade which created a new
BE running OS snv_118. I restarted OS and chose OS snv_118 to boot.
What I see is the OS boot screen with the progress bar moving and it has
been doing that for about an hour. Has anyone had success with this?

just found an answer on another e-mail forum (opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org):

Yes, I hit <esc> and now I see on the VBox guest console:

Method "/lib/svc/method/fcoeconfig" failed with exit status 127

and svc transitions it into maintenance. Next I see:
Requesting System Maintenance Mode
Console login services cannot run

Enter user name for system maintenance:

===============================================================

I believe this is due to:
6856975 Remove of fcoeconfig in Nevada 118 makes boot fail after upgrade

The workaround is:
1. Hit <Esc> key when the bootsplash appears.
2. Enter the login name/password when the system maintenance login
prompt appears.
3. Run: svccfg delete network/fcoe_config
4. Run: reboot
