My particular question went both ways though; however, I would like to see this on SPARC more than I would x86 (All my boxes at home are SPARC, the only place I run x86 is on my POS Dell on my desk at work). So that also applies to me. ;) Seriously though, I've already attempted (and failed, on b38) to do the convert to ZFS root on the PC at work, and I'm not real interested in that process, I'd like to help start testing once we can install straight to ZFS without any hoop jumping. I realize this isn't going to be anytime soon; however, I'm just trying to keep up to date so when it is ready to test (aka: bootable ISO can be downloaded) I've got a ton of machines to test it on. I can't wait. ;) -brian _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
