I'm pretty sure that OpenSolaris 2008.5 is the same a Nevada b89, which definite _does_ have flar. I'm not 100% sure you can get the "install from flash archive" as an option when using the X-based installer; but it should be available when using the text-based one. flar doesn't care what the underlying filesystem is. However, the support tools in the installer do care, since flar is run after the filesystem has been laid out and created. -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA Timezone: US/Pacific (GMT-0800) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
