I could download the raw disk file, converti it to vdi with VBoxManage, attach it to an XStreamOS Desktop vbox machine, import its rpool and see the root file system. Here I attached the messages of the machine. Any clue? I can't see relevant problems.

Maybe I can try to download the disk file, and find some why to attach it or read it on another running illumos and import its zfs rpool? Da: Garrett D'Amore A: [email protected] Data: 24 settembre 2015 4.26.42 CEST Oggetto: Re: Correcting: [discuss] illumos hosting offerings The floppy thing makes perfect sense. Anyway, you can disable the splash by turning off splash image, and background, and changing the console=graphics to console=text line in the grub menu.lst file. I always do that on all my installs, because I think the stupid happy face boot (that's the code name) is a crapware that just gets in my way when I'm trying to do Real Work (kernel debugging ,etc.) On Wed, Sep 23, 2015 at 6:41 PM, Kim Shrier [email protected] wrote: On Sep 23, 2015, at 5:01 PM, Gabriele Bulfon [email protected] wrote: Thanks Garret, unfortunately there's a graphic splash hiding text after I press "b" on the modified entry with "-k". So I just see the splash for one minute, then it gets away, showing the text OS banner preceded by "Loading kmdb". Here the cursor still flashes, tried pressing shift+F1, nothing happens.... I couldn't find any option on the grub edit to remove the graphical banner. Any idea? In any case I tried pressing F1 anyway right after pressing b to boot, but find nothing more than the hanging banner... I'll try to leave the machine running as is, maybe it "wakes up" as it did other times, and goes to the kmdb prompt... I'll check tomorrow what's on the console, night time now here in Italy ;) All my thanks, Gabriele Just a shot in the dark but have you tried configuring a floppy device on your VM? I used to have problems during device discovery if there wasn’t one configured.
