[OmniOS-discuss] [Bug] Installer crashes on disk selection

[Dan McDonald]

This is a known issue with the current installer.  We're fixing this by replacing the installer for the next OmniOS release.

Please track bloody for the upcoming installer change.  If you can, boot off dhcp and use the Kayak PXE installer, which will form the basis of the new ISO one.
