13:04:47 <nikolam> I woudl really like to enable pciex10ec,8161 as driver aliases for Realtek rge driver aliases, but it needs to be enabled at boot. The other day I were building SmartOS , but I only got boot archive.. boot-20260603T171934Z.tgz in /output I used the pkgbuild-lts image for the zone 
13:09:27 <nikolam> Maybe I would do better with pkgbuild-trunk zone 
13:40:14 <jbk> you can create a custom /etc/driver_aliases that includes it as a boot module
14:34:09 <nikolam> jbk, and where to put it, since boot archive on USB is read-only ? 
14:34:43 <nikolam> Even if bootable from HD, root archive actually is read-only
14:38:09 <jbk> it's done as a separate file..
14:38:18 <jbk> along side the boot archive and boot archive hash file
14:38:37 <nikolam> jbk, ok. let me try
14:38:57 <jbk> https://movementarian.org/blog/posts/2019-02-12-modifying-boot-files-with-smartos-under-loader/
14:39:05 <jbk> shows how to do it with /etc/system
14:39:16 <jbk> but should be the same principle for /etc/driver_aliases
14:40:10 <jbk> (I believe after you select the PI at the boot loader menu, you can also drop to the ok prompt and do `set etc_driver_aliases_load=YES` etc
14:40:16 <jbk> then type 'boot'
14:40:40 <jbk> (if you want to first avoid modifying loader.conf.local and test it out)
14:41:49 <jbk> note it's the suffix (_load, _type, ...) of the variable name that's key
14:42:29 <nikolam> jbk, thanks, let me digest this.
