this might be a weird question, but it'll make sense if I tell you that I am unable to accomplish an installation using kayak because of specially-configured storage (using swap on a disk partition, rather than on ZFS), is there a documented, relatively trivial way to bootstrap an OmniOS bloody install through the shell escape from kayak? I am on an EFI system with a GPT already laid out, including

a correctly formatted, version 5000 with all features disabled, rpool, which I want to have called tank but I will accept calling rpool.

features disabled here is because I formatted it under a different OS that supports more features, and I didn't want to introduce incompatibilities.

I'll try straight install again (option 2 in the text installer), but that's the option that gave me stress last time

it just said it couldn't do it

I'm stuck in the matrix.

probably doesn't like the SCSI CDROM.

ok, so it cannot mount the installation media if I use a SCSI CDROM or the CD image burnt to a SATA HDD

USB CDROM seems serene so far.

alright, we're getting somewhere... O.O

er...

I guess I should use BIOS instead?

... now to manually start the kernal

don't know how to load module genunix

no rootfs module provided, aborting.

Now in the serial console I haveto press every key five to six times

dladm show-phys gives no responses

it works with the e1000e ethernet adapter

we're off to a strong start /s

I know I'm doing something wrong

weird, multi-user-server is stuck offline. doubtless a side effect of my jank installation

omnios is very "batteries not included" @.@

so, there's no 'cpp' binary even if you install all the build tools
