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

[Reginald Beardsley]

 If someone actually documents the procedure, I'll test it just to verify it really works. But I'm not wasting any more time on arm waving.

I just got a pair of 12 TB USB drives which I need to test. However, I think I'll try them with Debian first. Hipster 2020.10 is a joke.

Ah, sorry, no, it seems he has at least a crippled boot disk.
So that CD boot, bootadm  -R path should work.
