Alex, Are you planning to include the pcfs support in the next Milax livecd image you create. I think the steps I followed have a clear patch that needs to be applied. Basically, try ufs first, if that fails, try pcfs. Also, some basic programs like vim, less, more, df etc., when the mount of /usr fails, will be very useful. That way, even if you don't get graphical desktop, you can use the maintenance mode to rectify ZFS issues etc. Note that the Solaris console framebuffer is crappy and has limited visible space. -devsk -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ distribution-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/distribution-discuss
