Hello.

I don't know of ready-to-use document and advise you to check the procedure in 
VM first.

Currently installer doesn't know how to install system on GPT partition.
So, you need to create ZFS partition manually and use text installer to install 
system there.
Be careful to avoid destroying Windows loader. Likely, you'll have to manually 
copy /boot/loader64.efi to /efi/boot/bootx64.efi of GPT boot partition and
/boot/loader32.efi to /efi/boot/bootia32.efi.
Different question is if your BIOS allows you to select EFI loader.
When illumos loader sees your OI installation you'll have to add chainload 
entry for Windows system.

In case when you use MBR partitioning, loader can install system to existing 
MBR partition.

Тема: [OpenIndiana-discuss] dual boot OI-hipster /windows 7

Hello,

I'm currenly using Solaris 11 and Windows 7 on my notebook, but I would
like to upgrade it to OI-hipster/Windows 7 on a larger SSD. Therefore I
bought a new 1TB SSD, copied physically my current 480GB SSD on it,
destroyed the solaris partition (which was the last one), expanded the
windows partition to 250 GB.
Now I would like to install OI-hipster on the remaining 750 GB. I did
similar things several times in the past but many things changed since
that time (il paticular the OI bootloader etc.)
I did not find any recent explanation of the procedure on internet but I
am sure. I'm not the first on this list needing to do that (we don't use
windows by pleasure but there are some softwares that only run on that
and sometimes we need them, and some hardware devices that are not
supported by OI). So how should I do it ? Can one of you indicate me
wher to find the info or how to do it ?

Thanks in advance

Marc
