Greetings!
Many thanks for the usbdump script.
I've managed to get belenix up and running ona LaCie 8GB
Oragne Carte drive (an embedded Seagate 7.xGB drive) but I
did have a problem with installgrub.
I tried installations using a number of different machines
(desktop and laptop) but all I would get on booting was a
"GRUB" message prompt and no further progress.
Thanks to a posting elsewhere that mentioned installgrub I
was able to get a bootable drive. I had to refer to the
[b]stage1[/b] and [b]stage2[/b] files from
[b]/.cdrom/boot/grub[/b], however.
I have an old(-ish) 1GB Talent USB key and I've had no
success installing on that. Even with the installgrub trick,
errors occurred trying to reference [b]s2[/b] of the
[b]rdsk[/b], not [b]s0[/b] as I had stated in the command
line. There seemed to be confusion between a slice and the
whole drive, that I wasn't able to resolve.
I'm trying to play with zfs (to set up a simple home NAS
booted from USB).
Having booted from the 8GB USB drive, I created a zfs pool
and file system that seemed to work - I could read a file
I'd created, but when I rebooted, zfs was gone. In it's
place was the original ufs-mounted drive at /mnt/solaris4.
However, I can see that progress is being made. If anything,
I'd appreciate a smaller image (to fit a 512MB memory key)
and the ability to have zfs persist across reboots.
Cheers! Gary
