Hi all,

I was following wiki note(
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Installing+OpenIndiana) to install illumos
on my system as I want to install illumos. I am trying to make bootable usb
but it showing me
some text and grub> prompt. I am not getting why this is happening.

I am running following command to make bootable usb in my Linux machine:

>cat 1G.header <USB image file> | dd bs=1024k of=<path to raw USB storage
device>

I tried with both usb file i.e. 151a and 151a3.

USB device I am specifying as /dev/sdb.

I have install oi in vbox but it is very slow.

Please let me know if any other information is needed.

Thank you,
Tushar

Yeah - I've got burnt by that too.

There is actually a simpler (2-step?) process to do this:

sudo pkg install distribution-constructor
sudo usbcopy oi-dev-151a3-live-x86.usb

Attached example output below.


HTH,

Problem is currently I have Ubuntu installed and I am trying to make live
usb from it. So the steps you suggested
are for Solaris based OS right?

Ah yes, sorry - I just boot into the Live DVD iso to make the Live USB.

I have not tried making it with another OS yet.
