[OpenIndiana-discuss] Take me to your leader...

[Andrew Robinson]

Hi,

Good advice! Plus 10 points and now I know one person I can trust in this
forum for their opinion.

I hate to correct you but O.I. Hipster wouldn't boot on the RAID or AHCI
setting, it would only boot on IDE. I thought it was AHCI too because that is
what is listed as a default option on one of the O.I. boot screens.

So everything boots fine now, it's too bad I forget to add a mouse! I assume
that there are shortcut keys so I won't need a mouse but I'm too lazy to take
the time to learn that so that's -10 points for me!

Thanks,

plain "AHCI" mode in the bios settings, and not some "raid-capable" or "intel
RST" mode.  These other modes ask the OS to load different drivers, which may
not be available.
