I've just tried to install 2008.11 RC2 on a 8GB usb stick and I've come up
against some problems...
firstly the stick won't boot and i end up at a grub prompt (but it will work if
i copy the live-usb image to it).
but I noticed that there are 2 rpools in there.
--------------------
jack at opensolaris:~$ pfexec zpool import
pool: rpool
id: 16215459398042661922
state: FAULTED
status: The pool was last accessed by another system.
action: The pool cannot be imported due to damaged devices or data.
The pool may be active on another system, but can be imported using
the '-f' flag.
see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-EY
config:
rpool FAULTED corrupted data
c4t0d0s2 UNAVAIL corrupted data
pool: rpool
id: 14395867608961197668
state: ONLINE
status: The pool was last accessed by another system.
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier and
the '-f' flag.
see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-EY
config:
rpool ONLINE
c4t0d0s0 ONLINE
--------------------
I can't zpool import the first rpool, but the 2nd one works.
However, in that rpool, there are only 2 directories /boot & /etc
as for the boot problem, geometry (hd0) at the grub prompt tells me that all
the partitions on the usb stick are of an unknown filesystem.
I've tried installing from a live usb image and also a live cd. Each time I let
the installer use the whole disk. And the installer reports no errors.
This is the first time i've used opensolaris so have no clue where to go from
here.
Thanks.
