historically solaris developers have used an Install.sh script - found in ON's usr/src/tools/scripts/Install.sh - which allowed you to install multiple self-consistent collections of kernel modules in a single boot environment, setting a different module load path for each one at boot time. This was always somewhat error-prone as you generally need the kernel and core system libraries (libc, etc.) to match to have a working system. IMHO the Install use case is largely obsolete as zfs provides a much cleaner way to quickly clone an entire boot environment as a separate bootable zfs filesystem. Once zfs boot/root came on the scene I stopped using Install entirely. You can find some documentation on Install.sh at http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+on/devref_5 but I don't think it's worth going out of your way to support this use case. - Bill _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
