Born again

The second Dyson installation
Added by Igor Pashev almost 12 years ago

Bad news: the only Dyson installation ever existed, accidentally died :-(

Good news: the new installation was created from the only ISO ever existed :-)

Issues were encountered:
  1. ISO misses fdisk, so I had to prepare hard drive on OpenIndiana,
    and then boot from ISO and just use debootstrap.
  2. libuuid1 failed to install: cannot create user libuuid.
    To solve it I had to edit /etc/passwd manually and then run debootstrap again.
  3. File /etc/user_attr is missed (#38), so it have to be copied from OpenIndiana,
    otherise svc.configd crashes on boot.
  4. Finally, root user should be created manually (#40)
