OpenSolaris on Bare Metal

Wednesday Jan 07, 2009

Finally I decide to install OpenSolaris on the bare metal, and probably use it as a nightly build machine.

  1. Create a USB installer using usbcopy
  2. Boot from this USB disk and install
  3. Reboot, disable network/physical:nwam, enable multicast and network/physical:default, call sys-unconfig
  4. Reconfigure the machine
  5. Reboot again
I hadn't enabled/disabled the services first time when I run sys-unconfig, and the machine cannot reboot complaining avahi-bridge-dsd cannot start. Fortunately I can login to single user mode and do that again.

I'm learning how to give more privileges to my NIS user account now.
