I just tried to import omnios-r151044.cloud.vmdk into google cloud - doesn't work: [import-image]: 2022-12-21T09:49:20Z could not detect operating system. Please re-import with the operating system specified. For more information, see cloud.google.com/compute/docs/import/importing-virtual-disks#bootable

any hints, which OS of cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/images/import#--os could be used?

ok - using --data-disk, I can import it, let's see whether it boots

oh - it circle boots - to be seen on the serial console

"cannot mount root"

neuroserve ya, there are still issues about boot pool access when disk controller device changes...

tsoome_ : I can access the boot prompt and loader via serial console - can I do something to make it boot from $somewhere?

can you add cd image or usb image?

when rpool can not be used on boot, the fix is to use alternate boot device (cd/usb/net), import the rpool to get boot device paths updated for current system, regenerate boot archive

add an image to the existing image in order to boot from it?

yes, to have cd/usb device to boot from

haven't seen that option - but I'll find out

well, otherwise, you would need to know what VM engine they are using, and try to create/update the disk image for it.
