If you set up a usb device in qemu and attached the usb image to that (and used that as the boot device) it would probably work. Presenting the usb image as IDE disk 0 only confuses the installer. What's going on here is that the live boot archive only pulls the root filesystem from media, and it then has to mount /usr from the media, and that involves finding where the media is. The usb image is expecting to find itself on a usb device, so it will enumerate all the usb devices and try each in turn to see if it can find /usr (and it's own /usr, as well) on it. If that fails, then you fall into system maintenance mode as below. (And booting from the iso works, as you see, because *that* is looking for /usr on the cdrom ,which is where you've presented it.) > ------------- > Loading unix... > Loading /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive... > Loading /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive.hash... > Booting... > NOTICE: MPO disabled because memory is interleaved > > WARNING: cpu1: CPUID.0xD returns invalid value: hw_low = 0, hw_high = > 0, xsave_size = 0, ymm_size = 0, ymm_offset = 0 > > Loading NVIDIA Kernel Mode Setting Driver for UNIX platforms > 470.182.03 Fri Feb 24 03:20:38 UTC 2023 Hostname: openindiana > Remounting root read/write > Probing for device nodes ... > 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): > ------------- > Trying to use the newer virtual hardware (with -M q35) results in boot > loop.
