old topic making alive by me...i am trying to install openinidiana on hp microserver gen8.
but i cann't. i get errors. what i have done, using windows 10:
- downloaded latest version openindiana (usb-file and iso-file)
- used win32 disk image writer to usb3 16gb stick
Win32 Disk Imager
- used imageusb program as
@metiche said
- used rufus
- used both iso and usb files
- tried 2 different usb3 sticks
- microserver can boot from usb2 port, e.g. any other linux live cd/usb image
- tried with and without 2.5 inch sata ssd connnected.
but i always get error, like this: cant find boot/loader or /boot/zfsloader.
even tried OmniOs CE. but still the same error.
EDIT: i even have tried with iodd-2541 device and dvd-iso file, but no luck...iodd-2541 mimics virtual cd/dvd rom if you put iso file in _iso folder.
also tried with usb2 stick. still same problems
EDIT 2: mounting live dvd iso inside virtualbox works great. installed OpenIndiana as a VM inside virtualbox....next step (for tomorrow) is trying minimal-usb image as a normal install on microserver gen8
EDIT 3: tried with minimal install usb file and yet the same problem. i cann't boot from usb stick (usb-3, 16gb stick).
EIDT 4: also tried with OpenSolaris live usb creator (
Installation From USB Stick), but still problem. this time i see only grub-cli. no install menu, nor grub menu
i can think off 2 reasons:
- i cann't make proper usb stick for solarish under windows 10
- or i dont know which command to use to get into install menu (or boot-menu)
