Hello Robert,
Thank you for the pointer. I did try "burning" the image to various USB
sticks, and verifying the SHA sum.
Also, the same stick was booting fine on a ThinkPad.
I feel now that it could be some subtle mismatch between current
bootloader and firmaware in use on the workstations.
I have not stopped trying though.
I am just waiting for upcomig OpenIndiana April release, hoping it will
bring UEFI boot (one can always hope), and those issues will go away.
I am itching to become a more active contributor to OpenIndiana, perhaps
some contributions to docs and userland.
But until I have a properly working OI on workstations too I do not feel
confident enough.
Thank you again,
Priyadarshan

Hi,
I have successfully installed OpenIndiana Hipster 2017.10 Live via USB
image on a ThinkPad W541.
Now, I am trying to install to 2 different workstations, using same
USB stick:
- HP z620 with Xeon E5
- Asus X399 motherboard with AMD 1950X Threadripper
After a few seconds, both machines give same message "BTX halted"
See screehsots https://imgur.com/a/pXMKn
I tried setting BIOS to legacy mode and UEFI mode.
Right now both machines are running FReeBSD 11.1-RELEASE.
From both, I am able to boot a FreeBSD installer, both in legacy mode
and UEFI mode.
I wonder why it boots fine from the ThinkPad, and not from the other 2
machines.
Is there anything I need to do in order to have the image boot?
Priyadarshan
