Sorry, this was probably me not being clear enough again...

On the new loader screen before booting, there is a box of menu 
options.  1-4 are Boot Multi, Boot Single, Escape to loader, Reboot.

Option 5 is labelled "Configure Boot Options...".  Selecting it brings
me into a submenu.  It looks like I will have to go back to the "Main
Menu" to boot, but I really only need to press enter to boot.  I found
this only by hitting enter accidentally. :-)

In that same submenu, the console type and verbose boot are selectable.
However, the speed for a serial console isn't.  That's not too much of
a problem, but it would be nice.  I haven't managed to set up the
installed system with a proper BIOS-redirected console -- in GRUB, I 
would use -v -B console=ttya,ttya-mode="115200,8,n,1,-" on the kernel
line in the menu.  So I guess I need to start looking for the doc that
goes with the loader...

But all that doesn't have that much to do with kayak-for-iso, it's more
a question of configuring the new loader.  The installation itself went
absolutely fine.

Wait... you mean option 5?  That is literally the same behavior as the old 
Caiman installer.  The only difference is that in the new Kayak-for-ISO, you 
don't reboot IMMEDIATELY after an installation, you can go back.  I did it this 
way on purpose, figuring people might want to manipulate their BE after 
installation.

Tested this on a "metal" system (Sun Fire X2270 with a Sun Keyboard 
Type 6/USB).  Selected 18 == "German", dropped to shell after 
installation, keyboard layout German.  Rebooted, logged in as root,
keyboard layout still German. :-)

USB installation does take quite a bit longer than .iso in VirtualBox.

One thing that surprised me was that it would boot after hitting the
enter key in the "5 Boot options" menu.  That's very convenient, but
maybe a "hit return to boot straight away" info text could be added.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] New media with new fixes!

[Jens Bauernfeind]

Hi Dan,

thanks for the updated media.
The installed system now has the correct keyboard (german in my case).
But the install environment is still english (when i go to the shell [Point
3]).
When i invoke a "loadkeys" after I enter the shell, the correct layout is
loaded.

Jens

Because there's no "-R " option.  Also, on a fresh install, the
xml manifests are all imported for the first time.  The best way to make it
stick is to alter the keymap.xml manifest.

As for this:

installation.  Let me try Danish...

You found a bug with the manifest-modifying setup in kayak-menu.sh.  I'm
doing "grep " not "grep -w ", so your Danish (layout 6) gets
the first hit with '6' in it, Albanian.  Here's a fix:

Why not simply have the installer configure the correct layout running
this svccfg -s keymap:default setprop keymap/layout = `layout` in the
