I'd rather wait for a full release then. I was trying to test ZFS booting off of a Netra 240 once, but hosed it (I guess the old OBP in those machines didn't support that), so that one is a prime candidate for some more forceful testing (it's been sitting in a storage room for almost 2 years now). -- Saso _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
