[OmniOS-discuss] Install on (not from) USB-Stick

[Matthew Mabis]

Kai,

Be careful of who you buy your board from, when i bought the ASRock C2750D4I Support gave me a lot of crap because it wasn't on their supported matrix.  I had to install new OS's just to prove the issue wasn't Solaris related.

I sold off that board because i was having a lot of issues with Freezing on the board.  Just some Friendly advice!

Copy on write reduces strain on the flash units, but also you can take a branded SD card and it should have wear leveling. If the size is quite bigger than what you need, the wear leveling will be effective.
