Following on from Alan's presentation, here's how you can transfer the
OpenSolaris CD image to make a bootable USB device:
Boot OpenSolaris DVD, (login as jack automatically).
If you want to do this remotely using ssh:
as "jack" :
jack at opensolaris:~$ pfexec su -
root at opensolaris:~# svcadm enable ssh
Plug in the removable USB key.
Look for the removable devices (here mine show up as c4t0d0p0)
root at opensolaris:~# rmformat
Looking for devices...
1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0

Create a DOS MBR partition, and use the whole disk for Solaris:
root at opensolaris:~# fdisk -B /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0
Create a single slice within that partition:
root at opensolaris:~# format -e /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s0
selecting /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s0
[disk formatted]

label - write label to the disk
analyze - surface analysis
defect - defect list management

Do you wish to continue creating a new partition
table based on above table[yes]?

Okay to make this the current partition table[yes]?
Enter table name (remember quotes): original
Ready to label disk, continue? y
partition> quit
FORMAT MENU:

Create a UFS filesystem on that slice:
root at opensolaris:~# newfs /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s0
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s0: (y/n)? y
Warning: 2048 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated

sectors
7640.0MB in 160 cyl groups (16 c/g, 48.00MB/g, 5824 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -F ufs -o b=#) at:
32, 98464, 196896, 295328, 393760, 492192, 590624, 689056, 787488, 885920,

15437472, 15535904, 15634336
Mount it, and copy the CD contents to it:
root at opensolaris:~# mkdir /a
root at opensolaris:~# mount /dev/dsk/c4t0d0s0 /a
root at opensolaris:~# cd /media/OpenSolaris
root at opensolaris:/media/OpenSolaris# find . -print | cpio -pdum /a
1342912 blocks
root at opensolaris:/media/OpenSolaris# cd /
Make the USB disk bootable with grub (-m used to install grub in the MBR and
within the partition boot block):
root at opensolaris:/# installgrub -fm /a/boot/grub/stage[12]
/dev/rdsk/c4t0d0s0
stage1 written to partition 0 sector 0 (abs 4096)
stage2 written to partition 0, 273 sectors starting at 50 (abs 4146)
stage1 written to master boot sector
root at opensolaris:/# umount /a
Done. Reboot (Cold, through the BIOS):
root at opensolaris:/# reboot -p
Have fun - Chris
