folks, attempted to install OpenSolaris 2008.11 from the insall CD image onto a memorex traveldrive USB stick (8GB). installation went smoothly, no hiccups. upon restarting i see a 'Bad PBR Sig' message. can't even boot into GRUB.
then restarted via original install CD; this time the USB drive wasn't even recognized. some ZFS message about being unable to mount /rpool on the drive. i know there are outstanding bugs regarding booting from a USB stick drive, but i haven't found an existing defect which matches these specifics. the drive has never had any other ZFS filesystem on it before, i'm not trying to use multiple partitions, etc. the hardware is an IBM thinkpad t42 if it matters. -- eldee -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
