I think POSIX systems work best. If you are using Windows, there should be an Oracle or OpenSolaris imager floating around that is massively out of date. ________________________________ From: david allan finch <david.al...@finch.org> Sent: Monday, August 2, 2021 5:02 AM To: openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org <openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org> Subject: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Installing a new Openindiana via usb
I got chance to look at this again. No of that seamed to work. I found an old Windows boot USB and that boots, so it is not the usb boot system. I created a new USB drive with the latest OI and I still get the same issue. May be I am using the Win32DiskImager wrong or there is an issue creating the bootable USB drive. Is anyone else attually doing this from Windows?
