More importantly, which ISA/ARCH is it based on. He forgot to mention that most important piece of information. It must have been sparc, because sparc doesn't use grub so far. To boot Grub based "newboot" flavours of Solaris x86/x64 (and therefore 2.10_U1 or higher, or 2.11_b15(circa) or higher) with only 64MB of physical mem, one needed to have a _very_ small custimozed boot archive. See Moinak Ghosh's good work to shrink that down beyond the limits. (The boot archive is pre-(down)-loaded and must completely fit into ram.) I doubt DC has worked on that. It can only be sparc because of that. Plus: The boot process will only successfully come up to the default milestone (even on sparc), if a big enough slice with tmpfs is found in vfstab (i.e. s1) and can be mounted as swap. I have a U5 with 64MB of mem and experienced that "great thing" months ago. Try it on x86 and it will not work (because of Grub). --Martin _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
