A question on BFU (knowing this might be outside this alias but would appreciate someone point me to the right discussion alias).
My intention is to upgrade systems with OpenSolaris to check for some bug fixes (one in USB/DVD and the other in nVidia gigabit driver). I used the bfu command to upgrade a system with OpenSolaris 08.11 to the nightly build following the instructions and archived bits from the following two url's. The bfu completed successfully but at the end, all commands (1M) like reboot would core dump. Power-off/on the system would no longer boot. --- Sherman http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/README.opensolaris http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/devref_toc/ Dave Miner wrote: > Sherman Pun wrote: > >> A follow-up question: >> >> [1] What is the difference between .iso and .iso.torrent? >> [2] installadm(1M) does not understand .iso.torrent.
