Announcement : LiveUSB scripts for Belenix

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
