[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster 2020.10 text installer ISO Wow!!!!

[Udo Grabowski (IMK)]

Don't waste your time with this: You are in IDE emulation mode, and
even if you get that working somehow you won't be happy at all,
since that mode is just slow. Get yourself into AHCI mode first,
along the guidelines Gary just posted (and that should've worked
out of the box, these HPE guys manage to break everything...).

I'm rather puzzled that with the device specified on the command line, format(1m) walked the entire /dev/rdsk tree and then some including sections of the filesysem I'd never heard of.
