[OmniOS-discuss] HP Microserver G8

[Nicolas Di Gregorio]

I did an installation of the "stable" OmniOS.

The network card was working with the stock driver :) I did not made any
futher tests but I was able to ping outside.

I was able to install to the microsd card too. Does anyone has a kind of
best pratice to maximize the lifetime of it? Like moving logs somewhere
else etc.
