I finally managed to create the USB stick image but not to boot from it. I don't think OpenSolaris is responsible of this however
I am using OpenSolaris inside virtual machines on my MacBook Pro. Firstly : I was not able to transfer the image to the USB stick from VirtualBox. I had to install an image on Fusion to be able to use usbcopy script. Secondly : The MacBook Pro does not recognize the stick as "bootable" at boot time (I ensured the partition table is GUID ...) and I did not manage to configure VB or Fusion to start from a USB stick neither ... So I am blocked - but this is out of topic for this mailing list Seb --- Sébastien Stormacq Senior Software Architect GSS Software Practice, Sun Microsystems Luxembourg On 11 Nov 2008, at 07:02, Glenn Lagasse wrote: > * S?bastien Stormacq ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I've noticed we are distributing binaries like os200811-global.usb >> I guess this is to be installed on USB memory stick to boot from >> there >> Any wiki, web site with instruction on how to install the beast ? > > http://blogs.sun.com/clayb/entry/creating_opensolaris_usb_sticks_is > > Step 4 is what you're looking for.
