Just playing around a bit w/ zfs + zfs root (no particularly good reason other than to just mess around a bit), and I hit an issue that I suspect is simple to fix, but I cannot seem to figure out what that is.
I wanted to try (essentially) doing a very manual install to an empty zfs filesystem. So I took a b72 ISO, mounted it, then did something did something similar to: cat /mnt/Solaris_11/Product/.order | while read pkg; do pkgadd -n -M -a admin -R /newfs -d /mnt/Solaris_11/Product $pkg done (where the iso was mounted on /mnt & /newfs was the empty zfs filesystem) After that completed, I made sure the filesystem mountpoint was set to legacy, updated it's vfstab accordingly, updated grub (the system was already installed using the zfsrootkit from b62), copied /etc/zfs/zpool.cache to /newfs/etc/zfs, created /newfs/etc/boot/solaris/filelist.ramdisk, added 'etc/zfs/zpool.cache', then did a 'bootadm update-archive -R /newfs' When I reboot, it panics in rootconf() that it cannot mount /ramdisk:a Now what's interesting, is if I clone the existing /, and just overwrite all the packages on the clone, that boots (though not sure how clean it would be). So I suspect there must be something extra piece on the filesystem that's missing that I am unaware of. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
