[OpenIndiana-discuss] install OSOL 134/sparc fails in LDOM

[Olaf Bohlen]

Hi,

I want to install OSOL 134 in a LDOM on my T2000 to upgrade to OI 148.
So I got the AI sparc iso from genunix.org and set up my LDOM as following:

-- snip --

-- snip --

I configured also an Sol10 U9 iso as "dvd1" to the LDOM for testing purposes.

So, when I boot up from dvd0 the install hangs:

After a bit debugging I think the reason is that the wanboot driver is
not correctly loaded, so the image on the iso containing the wandboot
config can't be mounted and the wanboot.conf of course cannot be
loaded.

Can anybody confirm this (and has a work-around)?

Thanks,
