I downloaded the 10.1-BETA disc1 iso image for sparc64, and burned it to media. I then used that media to attempt an installation onto a spare sparc64 machine that I have.
Using UFS as the filesystem, and more or less just following the prompts, the system got installed OK, and boots off of ZFS OK. I then reinstalled onto a system that I manually configured for ZFS. This installation fails to boot from the hard disk, dying like this: ---- snip, snip ---- ok reset Res LOM event: +487d+12h37m31s host reset etting ... ? Sun Fire V120 (UltraSPARC-IIe 648MHz), No Keyboard OpenBoot 4.0, 4096 MB memory installed, Serial #53476432. Ethernet address 0:3:ba:2f:fc:50, Host ID: 832ffc50.

Has anyone else tried booting a ZFS only sparc64 installation recently? -Kurt _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
