Hi Peter, I just wanted to let you know that I did try installing tribblix under vbox for the first time since I got into this mailing list.
I got stumbled-up in the fdisk section. The usage of 'format' is a rather confusing compared to the command line GNU fdisk on Linux. I know this isn't your doing, as I have had similar confusion and frustration trying to partition an SGI volume using IRIX 6.5 on my friends old O2 model. If there is a more extended tutorial on this illumos or SunOS format tool, it would help me to get past that into actually trying Tribblix. -Adam On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 4:24 PM, Peter Tribble <[email protected]>wrote: > On Mon, Dec 2, 2013 at 12:16 PM, Chavdar Ivanov <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> >> I installed it (the kitchen-sink option) under VBox without problems – >> using UFS. >> >> > I'm intrigued that somebody actually bothered to use > the UFS option.
