    I can confirm that OmniOS works fine on the HP G8.  The only gotcha is
    that if you want to use the HBA in non-RAID mode (which you do :-) AND
    you want to install an SSD in place of the DVD, then you will not be
    able to boot off said SSD.  This is a stupid design limitation.

    I am working on a fix but am not finished yet.  I expect to have
    something in early December.  Basically, you need to install an SD
    card and chainload the "real" OS from there.
