Hi all! i want to share the results of my most recent experiment this is a newish system which supports legay boot only with external drives :-{ so i *need* UEFI..
(*from memory..) 1) i took the usb install image of nov 2018 build by Aurélien Larcher 2) legacy booted the stick and installed oi to an NVMe drive using the text installer, i chose "EFI whole disk" 3) after installation completed, mkfs the existing 1st partition (~235MB) on the NVMe disk that was marked with efi+boot as vfat, and copied the dirs+files there just like they are on the stick 4) after reboot and pressing F12 the NVME drive showed up in the BIOS/UEFI boot menu 5) Boot succeeded, with showing text output while booting (i believed this would not work?), and arrived the vesa graphical ui :-D 6) placed the default publisher openindiana.org and hipster-encumbered, pkg refresh and pkg update 7) Reboot - F12 and the system is booting the new BE with text output while booting to vesa gui maybe this would work with a different recent install image, too(?) however, thanks to Aurélien Larcher and all others for this all making happen! :-) Stephan On 01/18/19 01:40 PM, stephan.alth...@duedinghausen.eu wrote: > Hello! > Thanks for the hint.i filed bug #10260 at illumos > Stephan > Gesendet von meinem LG Mobile > ------ Originalnachricht------Von: Joshua M.
