Solaris 11 -- Bootable USB device with existing Grml

Sebi94 · 08-02-2012, 04:59 AM

Hello community!

I've got a question, cause I can't find a solution. I've got an USB device with a working Linux Grml and now I want to add to this device the "Oracle Solaris 11 (text 86)" system, so that I have a choice between Grml and Solaris at the boot.

My problem is, that I can't find the right kernel and "initrd". I tried it with the Solaris.iso file. I unziped the ISO and copied the whole files AND the whole ISO-file to the USB device. After that, I edited the "syslinux.cfg". The booting file or however it's called.

append initrd=/boot_solaris/platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive

I can't boot Solaris, cause he can't boot/load the initrd and the kernel.

You need to chainload the hard disk grub to be able to boot Solaris. The grub versions supplied with Linux are lacking ZFS support to be able to directly boot Solaris.
