[OpenIndiana-discuss] Installing 151a5 server from USB over serial console

[Dustin Marquess]

Is there some magic voodoo I'm missing here?

I've taken the 151a5 server text mode .usb file, mounted it, and
edited /boot/grub/menu.lst to tell GRUB itself to use the serial
console, and to also add the kernel ttya setting to the "text mode"
entry.

dd'd that to the drive (along with the 1G header) and it failed.

Tried redoing it and this time also unpacking the boot_archive,
editing /etc/ttydefs, and repacking it.  Same error.

The error I got both times is:

I can login as root and look around, but I can't find any logs with
any obvious errors.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
