Re: [osol-discuss] Duel boot b134 and Windows 7
I wound up re-installing b134, afterwards The Windows partition came up in the grub menu. I still can not understand what was wrong with the definition that I put into the menu.lst as it was identical to the one that the re-install put in. Guess it will have to remain another mystery. My new procedure is to install Windows first Thanks for the help mike -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

It's much faster and compresses better. My experience is 2x faster and 2x better compression. Oh - Specifically if you use compression level 1. xz -1 SchilliX-0.7.0.iso Well nice to see that finally someone did create a 7z based tool that is compliant to the standard compress CLI that is able to correctly operate on pipes. I was looking for such a beast for star since aprox. 4 years. I added support for automated recognition to the next version of star. If I would use xz, I would need to put the source into ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schillix/ for convenience as I expect few people to have it already.

The file you want to modify is /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst then add your chainloader entry to the bottom of the file. I see you subsequently re-installed, so this should work for future reference. Though a menu.lst file comes up under /boot/grub, you need to edit the one in /rpool/boot/grub. Cia ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Cia ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org I did modify the menu.lst out of the /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst. /boot/grub/menu.lst only had a entry in it for default and timeout. Since the stage1 and stage2 files only live in /boot/grub/menu.lst that is where I did the installgrub from.

Re: [osol-discuss] build 134 Music issue
Sansa and other media players have two modes, USB and an other who's name I forget that works with windows. You can change the mode to USB on a windows box. I can't remember how I did it, but the information was easy to find. -- Ian. Yea the USB mode that everyone talks about is not under the settings menu item where everyone says its suppose to be. Wonder if I need a firmware upgrade? or if that is even possible. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
