Hi,
That should be straightforward to do as well. You need to put
the primary kernel modules and the failsafe miniroot onto
the USB key. I will cook up some instructions and send them to
you.
Note: You will need to keep the kernel on the USB key
constantly updated because the ZFS format can change
and an older kernel on the USB key will not be able to read newer
ZFS formats
Appreciate it.
something i noticed during an installation round of the 128a USB
distribution available from genunix, I noticed that when switching
from the LiveCD distribution to the newly-installed environment, my
hardware is not actually physically rebooted, but just switches to the
other environment.
Is there a way I can harness this functionality on demand? is it easy to do?
In short, I want to manually switch from the environment when booting
from the liveCD to the environment that was successfully installed to
hard disk.
That would be "fast reboot" (reboot -f). See the reboot man page. In
general, to switch to a given boot environment:
reboot -f -- rpool/ROOT/<be-name>
Thanks!
-Eugene
