[OpenIndiana-discuss] Installation on a partition (UEFI System)

[Atiq Rahman]

Hi,
I have a 1TB SSD on my notebook. I don't wanna use the whole disk. I only
wanna use a partition for the installation. I am using the text installer
since graphical boot is not working yet.

So, it presents me with 2 options
- Use whole disk (EFI)
- Partition the disk (MBR)

Logically, CSM / legacy bios mode is not even an option on my system
(checked on BIOS Setup a few times). However, since, OI installer is
presenting me with that option I am wondering if that's the only option to
install without using the whole disk.

Did anyone try that option on an EFI only device? Did that work? What's
the recommended route?

Also, it seems like
https://docs.openindiana.org/handbook/getting-started/#install-openindiana-graphical-installer
is outdated: examples there use BIOS mode on photos and instructions? Most
systems are UEFI these days (checked some older devices in our family, none
of them have legacy BIOS mode or CSM for booting). How to contribute in
editing the document?

Cheers,

Atiq
