i take it /usbkey is stored on the ZFS volume?

i.e. /usbkey/* (/usbkey/config and frends)

(if so it would be currently impossible for me to update /usbkey/config until i can mount the zpool....the old server ran on 3.5" disks and the new server only has 2.5" cages--currently looking into using a USB enclosure in the meantime)

disregard....i answered my own q

hi, anyone netbooting smartos on uefi? the platform archive needs bios and chainloading (uncompressed) iso/usb images in ipxe also fails.

.bsd and linux .iso/.img boot fine in my setup; wiki.smartos.org seems has no mention of uefi and config in the pxe article shows only bios snippets, which make me think uefi nework boot is not yet supported.

kn this wiki needs a bit updating. UEFI network boot is supported, but you need a bit updated ipxe (if you are using ipxe). see github.com/TritonDataCenter/ipxe

tsoome: thanks, updated as in more recent than boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.efi or containing illumos specific changes?

it's not clear to me from TritonDataCenter/ipxe's README whether this fork actually provides bits required to netboot smartos or whether it's just to maintain a separate build/provide guidance

Changes

is there build available online i can experiment with to short-cut building yet another ipxe variant?

I think the binary *should* be around, but I failed to figure out where it is:D
