You currently can?t run illumos as a Hyper-V Gen2 VM. There?s a number of

That's true for illumos, but OmniOS runs on Hyper-V Gen2 as it has drivers
contributed by Delphix which are not yet upstream.
All new OmniOS releases are boot tested on Hyper-V Gen1 and Gen2 via
an installation from .iso.

I have not been successful installing from omnios-r151046.iso onto a Hyper-V Gen2 VM on Windows 11 Pro. What VM settings are required? With 4096 MB and 4 Virtual processors it hangs for me ...I

I have tried a selection of 2048 MB and 4096 MB with between 1 and 5 Virtual processors. All of them hang. With verbose selected, the last few lines displayed on the console are:

    ramdisk0 at root
    ramdisk0 is /ramdisk
    root on /ramdisk:a fsytpe ufs
    /cpus (cpunex0) online
    pseudo-device: dld0
    dld0 is /pseudo/dld@0

Raised as an issue: omnios-r151046.iso fails to install on a Hyper-V Gen2 VM on Windows 11 Pro <https://github.com/omniosorg/kayak/issues/250>.
