[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana Hipster live DVD and USB won't boot all the way

[Will Brokenbourgh]

Greetings everyone,

After a long time away from OpenIndiana, I have tried to come back,
however I can only run OI in a virtual machine now.  This is not ideal
and I want to run OI natively.  I really *really* want to run OI on my
bare metal, but it just hangs after the copyright and before the SMF
start stage.

I tried getting some advice from the OI IRC channel, but the folks who
were responding didn't understand my issue.  I cannot get to the
Device Driver Utility to generate a report because OI doesn't boot all
the way.

I tried using verbose and debug mode while booting and this is the
only error shown:
- - -

Thanks in advance for letting me know what steps I should take next
(besides different hardware -- that is not economically feasible right
now).

Sincerely,
