There was a bug b/t builds 93 and 104 which forbids you from booting from a USB memory stick. However, I have never had problem booting from a USB hard disk. Actually I have not installed OpenSolaris into any of my primary laptops yet (always boot from one of the several USB hard disks that are shared among those laptops). I have a habit of plugging the USB hard disk into the same USB slot. Someone was mentioning that it may not boot if you use a different slot. You may want to make sure that this is not the possible cause of the problem. Before you dig any further, I suggest you probably should try to do the installation again. I am sure you have verified the USB hard disk before hitting the enter key for installation. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
