Hi, Kevin, interesting experiment. Could you brief your process of making USB disk image before more help can be given ?
As a suggestion on a 2nd computer, please connect the USB disk. But instead of booting from it, boot from CD-ROM (or miniboot if any, unavailable for 2008.05 at default ?), and then do format to figure out the PCI path, and compare with it on the 1st computer. If they differ, mount the USB disk on the 2nd computer as /a while in CD-ROM boot, and correct path by doing, mv /a/dev /a/dev.orig mv /a/devices /a/devices.orig mv /a/etc/path_to_inst /a/etc/path_to_inst.orig devfsadm -r /a # rebuild device tree It is useful to put the above and below in a script if switching computers is common. Now fix the boot path, by editing /a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc and fixing line with "setprop bootpath '/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0....' to match the path you'll find mounted for /a . Fix /etc/vfstab if needed. Recreate archive bootadm update-archive -v -R /a touch /a/reconfigure cd /; sync; sync; umount /a; init 6 The ideas above are stolen from VMware to Virtual Box migration as in http://blogs.sun.com/jimlaurent/entry/importing_solaris_vmdk_image_into I think it might work for device migration in general. Give all credits to Jim if it works. Good luck. Hans This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
