Hello, upgrading x86 machines according to this howto [http://www.illumos.org/projects/illumos-gate/wiki/How_To_Build_illumos] has worked for me so far. I tried to apply the same approach on a SPARC machine, but the machine won't boot any more. :-(The original boot environment was a build 145 compiled from the OpenSolaris repository. Then I performed the following steps from the howto: wget http://hg.illumos.org/illumos-gate/raw-file/tip/usr/src/tools/scripts/onu.sh chmod +x onu.sh pfexec ./onu.sh -Ot os-devel_145 -U os-devel -u http://91.194.74.69:10000The packages there are x86, there're no sparc packages in that repository.
This explains why the machine cannot boot any longer. :-( It would be
definitely worthwhile to add a big fat warning to the howto. Anyway, it seems
more than surprising to me that the packaging system allowed this to happen. (!)
Anyway, now I need to
a) reinstall the system using a network boot image. (Is there a howto
for this?)
b) select another boot image from the 'ok' prompt. (Is this possible?)
Any suggestions?
