antranigv maybe this helps omnios.org/setup/zones

neirac I did read that multiple times, and I did get it. but I don't get it in practice. Say I want to have a build zone to build OmniOS. I need things such as gcc and other tools. I guess using sparse does not make sense since things are installed into /usr. so I should go with lipkg, right?

antranigv, yes you should go with a lipkg zone for building omnios inside a zone github.com/omniosorg/omni/blob/mast…/README.md#example-build-zone-setup, I have always used lipkg for that, but to build media you need to do it in the GZ. reading about sparse, if you have all the packages needed in the GZ and don't need to install anything else maybe could work in sparse, but the recommended way is

just to use lipkg , ipkg could work too but lipkg is easier to mantain

can I have a stable GZ with a bloody zone?

never mind, looks like omni setup will clone the latest AFAICT

Could the rp4 image from downloads.omnios.org/media/braich/README.txt also work on an rp5? Or is that too different?

wiedi does the wifi works in a rpi4 or just ethernet?

there is no support, yet for the RPi 5

neirac, just ethernet

neirac: I have not tried anything yet

hadfl thx, so qemu it is :)

wiedi, if you use omnios. it's pretty simple to set up an emu zone running aarch64 illumos. see here at the bottom: omnios.org/setup/zadm.html

thx, I'll probably try it on macos, had an early image running a long time ago and need to catch up on what's new

I'm trying to replace a router at home with omnios but omnios does not supports the wireless card.

I wonder if Apple's Thunderbolt Ethernet works

That's complicated.

We don't have support for a thunderbolt controller unfortunately. While USB4 gives us a bit more data on how to implement, it's not really all there.

If you plug a PCIe device in at boot and firmware enables it by default then it might work.

But I wouldn't hold my breath.

yeah, I used the BCM57762, but I don't see it in ifconfig or in dmesg

sad, really wanted another illumos computer at home

(I think even FreeBSD doesn't have support for those)

maybe I install alpine and then boot illumos in it

I'll try the USB2 version, too bad it's 100M

no driver found

eh, too bad

I wonder if I can do PCI passthru in that case o.O

(um, USB passthru)

The normal usb ethernet adapters should actually work... I've used those

wiedi it did. but I was not able to load the driver :( just installed Alpine. Do you know which driver should I load in OmniOS using modload?

they always worked out of the box for me, nothing to load

wiedi I'll try again :))

Why does ooce/omnios-build-tools install Rust? Are there any Rust components in base?

I guess it's the axf driver

wiedi I think rum uses usb but does not come with omnios, is just a pkg away, also ral I have both cards, ral does not attachs as the driver needs to be updated to support a new version, rum should work have not tested yet

this manpage is very good TritonDataCenter/smartos-live #217/files should be in base, is more smartos related but most of the content works for omnios

neirac very handy manual page. I'm also creating a rosetta stone for illumos/FreeBSD/Linux.

What's the USB ID for the device in question?
