4 Building
5 --------
6
7 * Set PKGURL to be the source of the OmniOS bits we wish to install with
8 kayak, in case it's not the default "omnios" publisher for whatever release
9 branch you have checked out.
10
11 * zfs create rpool/kayak_image
12 * gmake {PREBUILT_ILLUMOS=<path>} BUILDSEND=rpool/kayak_image <target>
13
14 BUILDSEND must be specified.
15
16 PREBUILT_ILLUMOS should point to an already-built illumos-omnios of the
17 version you wish to construct an installer. It is optional, but the build
18 will warn you if you do not specify it. The build uses "svccfg-native" if
19 possible to manipulate SMF on target images without conversing with the host
20 machine's SMF services.
21
22 <target> must be specified.
23
24 install-http:
25 Builds the <VERSION>.zfs.bz2 file, which is what Kayak uses
26 for any install it does. Independent target.
27
28 install-tftp:
29 Builds the miniroot.gz file, which is what PXE Kayak feeds to
30 GRUB or Loader to boot itself on a PXE boot. Independent target.
31
32 install-iso:
33 Builds both install-{http,tftp} and then proceeds to construct
34 <VERSION>.iso using components from both.
35
36 install-usb:
37 Builds install-iso, and then proceed to construct <VERSION>.usb-dd
38 based on the ISO image.
39

50 * /boot/grub/pxegrub or /boot/pxeboot should be placed in /tftpboot/
51 * /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix should be placed in /tftpboot/omnios/kayak/
