With os_console set to ttya, following the procedure described here: https://github.com/joyent/smartos-live/issues/727#issuecomment-342868065
I was able to get all the way to SmartOS Setup. I haven't attempted to do the actual installation yet, because this isn't the way I want to boot it every time. What I found, which differs from what YanChii noticed, is that I need neither disable-xhci=true nor moddebug to get this far. Typing this into the debugger is all that is needed for me: ::bp -Dn 1 -c '.+0x95::bp -c "0>dx;::cont" ; ::cont' acpica`AcpiOsWritePort :c I am testing with: joyent_20180203T031130Z Please let me know whether this helps, and how to proceed from here. ----- On Feb 10, 2018, at 5:55 PM, Dewey de...@hyltown.com wrote: > There is, indeed (it also has ps2 ports, which I did not realize).
