It's likely that you'll need to build your own platform, yes. Since your driver will require a name_to_major entry and likely one or more driver_aliases entries, you'll need a platform image with the driver, driver.conf, and at least those files internally consistent. Depending on what you're trying to do, you may also need devfsadm configuration or modules, mdb dmods, etc. You'll want to start with http://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/Building+SmartOS+on+SmartOS, add your driver to your local illumos-joyent clone, add appropriate files to the manifest, add entries as described above to the generic overlay files, and rebuild. ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
