Hi all, Looking for some help / tips to get opensolaris up & runnung. I've downloaded 2009.6 livecd. My mobo has nVidia onboard and will only boot using VESA option. Once booted, gnome is allright, but I have no network... The onboard nic is recognized as MCP79 - but has no driver. I tried connecting 2 different USB nic's, one is Linksys USB200, and the other is a Sitecom. Both seem to load usb_mid driver, but will not get an IP adress.
[u]How can I get any of these 3 to work?[/u] Next, I installed on my localdisk. Install ran fine, but, I cannot boot into this installation. At the moment it should need to boot in VESA I think. I've tried to enter grub at boot, and add VESA at the kernel line, but this does not seem to work... [u]How can I enable VESA during boot?[/u] Also, I would like to be able to mount / modify the hd install using the livecd... [u]How can I get the hd to mount on the livecd??[/u] Thanks for your help! (I also tried the ddtool_21, but this seems not to report for 2009.6 version. Is a ddtool_22 stand alone version available?) I can't load from internet as I have no network...) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
