Regarding grub2 and firmware bootstrap (also to Jeremy, Thanks for update PolarisBootstrap wiki), the boot conf call (notes http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=4992&tstart=15) summerize them. But we do need grub2 when we have a self-hosting polaris installed.

Can you setup smartfirmware as a telnet server (like " enet:telnet,<server-ip>" io) and telnet to it? If so, can you printout a list of env and dev list?

On my power mac G4, I load the elf from ofw by a command like "load enet:<tftp-server-ip>,inetboot.elf" , I am sure this should work for smartfirmware. I begin to hate the powermac g4, it seems not allow me to change the load-base and auto-boot. > We thought of booting Solaris from a USB stick instead of CD so we didn't > have to worry about the CD burning (and we get to use 1GB USB sticks). usb boot is great, but I still prefer tftp boot. :) Noah > I'll revisit this later today. > > ~K > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > powerpc-discuss mailing list > powerpc-discuss at opensolaris.org > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
