My purpose was to install Milax without installing OpenSolaris. The easiest solution for me was to boot up my MacBook with the 2008.11 OpenSolaris Live CD.
First thing's first, make sure the drive is formatted in FAT 32 and has the milax032.usb and usbcopy.v200.sh files on it. I then booted the machine with the Live CD. Using the GUI (which, let's face it, is so much easier than command line stuff people), made it very easy. I didn't have to worry about permissions to mount the USB drive or getting the path correct. A few simple commands in the terminal is all it took. I haven't been able to test the installation because I haven't quite figured out how to get the MacBook to boot from the USB drive. I suppose it will have to wait until I have a BIOS machine at my disposal. Anyone with experience on running Milax from an USB drive on a Macintosh, let me know. I'd like to test it here. On a BIOS machine, I assume you just stop the boot sequence, go into the BIOS, make the system look to the USB port for a system, right? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
