    Don't keep us in suspense! What are the errors you are seeing?

    You should under normal circumstances be able to install using the 020 media as you are attempting to do.

    Under normal circumstances, the "best practice" is boot the install image, and use the installer. It would be really helpful to know what these errors you're seeing consist of. X4170s are old Intel Westemere-based systems; OmniOS should have no problems running on these. Are you using the on-board SAS controller in a hardware RAID mode?
