Is the preferred way to use usbcopy to copy the usb image to

I copied osol-1002-118-x86.usb to a 4G stick using usbcopy from
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/raw/caiman/slim_source/usr/src/cmd/install-tools/usbcopy
with no errors. I was doing this on a laptop running build 111.
When I try booting from this USB on a laptop after the grub menu I
get a
lot of errors about missing devices and end up in the maintenance
mode.
I cannot do anything. As soon as I type any command I always get
errors "usr/bin/hostname: Nu such file".
Is there any know problems with the 1002-118-x86.usb image or am I
missing something.
that's somewhere in the microroot before it lofi mounts the compressed
volume files and goes from there
you can make the hostname messages go away by redoing the prompt like:
# export PS1='\...@\h\$ '
with build 118 - there's a known issue with the FCOE SMF missing
fcoeconfig - but i think you're hitting device errors before that.
you can try doing a devfsadm to get the device tree rebuilt, and going
from there (but i think they also stripped out things like svcadm and
svcs in the microroot - which you'll need to get from one of the
compressed loopback files) .. remember - these builds are still in
development at this stage
