[OpenIndiana-discuss] We have install images which work!

[Reginald Beardsley]

 I was doing bare metal on an HP Z840. Does anyone know of any documentation on the VBox boot process? It's obviously not running the BIOS initial loader to read the first sector on the disk.

FWIW, I downloaded the 2021.04.30 gui install and installed it into Vbox
(6.1.22 on Artix Linux) with 4.25 Gb RAM allotted. It installed fine. True,
gparted did not work, but the graphical installer selected the entire
available partition, though it only used 7.3Gb. Rebooted fine (apparently the
boot loader was installed), except system/xvm/ipagent:default failed
repeatedly and was transitioned to maintenance; but the gui interface loaded
and I logged in. I believe I had that same error when I installed that
2021.04.05 test release; in that former case, pkg update cleared up that
problem and perhaps it will this time also. I did not find these matters to
be "major" problems; the newly installed system is running.
