Checksums match. I converted OI-hipster-gui-20190511.iso to image and then copied that to USB (using instructions at https://blog.tinned-software.net/create-bootable-usb-stick-from-iso-in-mac-os-x/ <https://blog.tinned-software.net/create-bootable-usb-stick-from-iso-in-mac-os-x/>). Boot gets further then: … Preparing live image for use Requesting System Maintenance Mode (See /lib/svc/share/README for more information.) Console login service(s) cannot run Enter user name for system maintenance (control-d to bypass): OI-hipster-gui-20190511.usb works. I’ll have to dig around and see if I can find a blank DVD to burn the ISO onto. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
