> do I need to install both the scsa2usb and grub patches? Start with the grub patch. That should make the usb stick bootable - but note that you may not move the usb stick to a different usb port for booting, you must use the same port that was used when the zpool was last imported / used on that machine.
Once you can boot from the usb flash memory stick, you can try the new scsa2usb module together with an attribute-override-list = "... removable=false" entry for the stick added to /kernel/drv/scsa2usb.conf. Reboot. Check with the command "zdb" that a "devid" is listed for the usb disk device. That should allow to boot from any usb port on that system. And with appropriate entries added to the /etc/devices/devid_cache file the stick should become bootable on other systems, too. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
