[indiana-discuss] Booting from live usb

[Karl Dalen]

Is the preferred way to use usbcopy to copy the usb image to
the memory stick or is there something more that needs to
be written to the usb memory ?

I copied osol-1002-118-x86.usb to a 4G stick using usbcopy from
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/raw/caiman/slim_source/usr/src/cmd/install-tools/usbcopy
with no errors. I was doing this on a laptop running build 111.
When I try booting from this USB on a laptop after the grub menu I get a 
lot of errors about missing devices and end up in the maintenance mode.
I cannot do anything. As soon as I type any command I always get
errors "usr/bin/hostname: Nu such file".
Is there any know problems with the 1002-118-x86.usb image or am I
missing something.

Any help would be appreciated.
