Hi Gordon

Yes. The goal is to have a boot_archive that can download the CD-Contents via web into RAM. Or make basic recovery tasks when Disk id's change etc. Like the original Firefly. but with extensions.

Just to be clear, you're trying to netboot a mini-root image, right?
(like the CD/ISO image, Not booting onto an NFS mounted root)

I would like to know what you think about the scripts. How could I improve 
them? What would you use them for? Does that need some change to the script(e.g 
additional commandline option)?


Some tips:
Would be nice to add dynamic boot_archive size calculation (populate image 
stage fails for me with “no space left on device”).
You probably would like to cleanup kernel and platform directories in 
boot_archive for  32-bit drivers (or add an option and produce separate 32 and 
64 images if you like).
SMF repository probably will not be happy and it will try to run some stuff 
which is not exist in boot_archive, so you will need to modify smf database and 
may be some scripts.

Hope this helps,
Alex
