If you have GRUB booting on this system already, you don't need a USB stick. Take a FreeDOS floppy or disk image [1] and memdisk from SYSLINUX [2]. cp memdisk /boot cp whatever.img /boot/freedos.img mount -F pcfs -o loop /boot/freedos.img /mnt cp <files> /mnt umount /mnt Append to menu.lst (for a pool named rpool): title Firmware Update findroot (pool_rpool,0,a) kernel /boot/memdisk module /boot/freedos.img For the 10M disk image, substitute 'kernel /boot/memdisk harddisk c=19 h=16 s=63' [1] http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/ has 2.88M image and a 10M disk image. [2] http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/ includes precompiled binaries -Albert _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
