<pre wrap="">The problem with that is your disk device will be under a different name, and this confuses the illumos boot system a bit.

<pre wrap="">That article is a bit old.
I've some questions that will help me give better advice. There are no wrong answers here, just be as accurate as you can:
- Which revision of OmniOS are you running?
- Is your new SSD the same or greater size than the HD you have now?
- Do you have a CD/DVD or USB installer media?
Thanks,
Dan
