I thought I'd try this on a box I'm trying to prep as a NAS, since Illumos doesn't seem to recognise the Marvell ethernet. The box has one of the new AMD E350 chips etc. Drives 0 to 3 are SATA drives, drive 4 is the eSATA drive for boot. I have a USB DVD reader, which has boot priority - normally this system does not have a dvd. Mandrive boots OK and sees all the hardware. Illumos was fine except for the ethernet. On boot I get: CD Loader 1.2 Building the boot loader arguments Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... File not found Looking up /boot/loader... File not found Boot failed A FreeBSD 8.2 'boot only' disk got me to the point where it had initalised the disk slices and wanted to connect to an FTP source. Which it couldn't see - not sure why yet. DHCP had configured it OK and a Mandrive live disk was fine including surfing the web etc. Anyhow - my concern in this report is whether the Beta 3 disk is loading USB mass storage drivers and doing what it needs to boot from a USB drive.
