Thanks for your suggestions. I could not identify whether the "device not found errors" I got during boot from USB stick were related to the hardware USB subsystem on my laptop or related to the osol boot image so I gave up on that and instead burned a CD image and booted from a USB DVD drive. There where no problems in booting and installing this build 118 from the live CD. /KarlD -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
