I have picked up ai-dec5.iso and tried on T5220 with 1GB RWM. I was able to get to the point where net archives are downloaded and mounted and I can test AI for now. Below are the captured observation I have done so far - in case that people who would like to give it a try are aware of existing issues and used workarounds. Thank you, Jan [1] microroot slightly modified =============================== * since microroot is not booted from net, I added steps to configure my network to the live-fs-root * As the location of AI archives is not provided (it is defined in GRUB menu for x86), I hardcoded it in live-fs-root $ diff /lib/svc/method/live-fs-root.orig /lib/svc/method/live-fs-root 273a274,278 > # Configure network > /sbin/ifconfig e1000g0 plumb > /sbin/ifconfig e1000g0 192.168.100.200 > /sbin/ifconfig e1000g0 up > 282a288 > url=http://192.168.100.2:5555/export/home/ai/images/x86-rc2 * test_ti & test_td test drivers added to /sbin directory [2] microroot booted, AI net archives downloaded and mounted ============================================================ SPARC Enterprise T5220, No Keyboard Copyright 2007 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
