Thanks. I'm not expecting to have a reason to build a new OI system, but good
to know.
I set up a Windows 7 Pro / Debian 9.3 dual boot a couple of days ago as a
concession to all the EE software that only is available for one of those two
platforms.
At present my biggest issue is some bad DRAM in my Solaris 10 system. If it's
been up for a couple of days or longer a scrub will cause a kernel panic. After
I reboot, a scrub will complete with no errors. Other than getting a new DIMM
and moving it from slot to slot until the problem goes away I can't think of
any way to locate the bad DIMM. I don't know of a program that will write a
pattern to memory and then scan it a few days later for errors.
Is there a traditional bare metal monitor such as was common in the past? It's
obviously possible, but it's hard to justify all the time it would take to
learn the details. Though now that I think about it, I might be able to hack
the memtest program.
I ran into a similar issue on my 3/60 running 4.1.1. I built a stripped kernel
to save memory. But if I accessed the 1/4" tape after it had run for a day or
more it would kernel panic. Immediately after a boot tape access was fine.
After a lot of head scratching I went back to using the generic kernel which
mapped the bad DRAM to some device I did not have.
Have Fun!

With the current text installer, escape to a shell.
Confirm the disks are all BIOS accessible:
# prtconf -v | grep biosdev
Create the pool with EFI boot:
# zpool create -B rpool raidz c0t0d0 c0t1d0 c0t3d0
Exit and return to the installer and then F5 Install to an Existing Pool
