[Caiman-team] [OpenIndiana Distribution - Bug #1024] Installation failing b/c disk space smaller than RAM

[illumos project]

Issue #1024 has been updated by Dean Calver.


Just got hit by this myself 48GiB RAM onto 37GB boot SSDs.

No work around for me, at the moment as can't remove sticks currently and -B physmem kernel boot option doesn't work (it appears it still reports the total ram, just reduces the free ram).

We tried to install oi build 148 x86 Server (both from dvd and usb) and the installation always failed because the swap space that is created during install is too big for the disks we're using.

we have 64gb of RAM and tried to install on a 40GB ssd drive.
