[OpenIndiana-discuss] Initial install of 2020.10 on Z840 for production use

Sun Apr 25 23:01:40 UTC 2021

 Here's some info. The dd of /dev/zero is still running after almost 6 hours which is mind boggling, because before the 2020.10 install 2021.01-rc1 did it in ~1:11. I want to let it finish before I take it down and pull the 8 GB DIMM. It's quite singular. I've never seen anything like this before. But that's true of the whole experience with this machine.

I'll verify by booting a Z400, but I'm fairly certain that the text installer is not creating the /reconfigure file as it should. I've not had a failure since I specified the reconfigure option at first boot.

I've done all the experiments I can stand with the Z840. I just want it up and in production or on its way back to the seller. I have no desire to fight the "missing driver" battle.

Most likely the 8 GB DIMM is the cause of the glacial behavior.
