I have a machine that the BIOS cannot see my SiL3124 controller. Solaris of course sees it just fine. This means that I can't boot from it however.
What I've done it this. I installed Solaris onto a temporary IDE disk and ran Tim Foster's zfs-actual-root-install.sh script on it to prep the ZFS disk to be my bootable OS disk. Then, from the IDE disk (I will be booting from either CD or CF, haven't decided yet) I did this: root (hd0,0,a) --- (the IDE disk) kernel /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix -kv -B bootpath="/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1095,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0" module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive and it boots, finds the SATA disk, but then tells me: NOTICE: mount: not a UFS magic number (0x0) and fails. I tried copying the boot_archive from the ZFS disk over, but that didn't help. How do I get a mount that is groovy with ZFS so it can mount my root slice?
