OpenSolaris 2009.06, dev setup

Snapshot the root zfs pool

This allows us to revert to the pristine files at a later date.

1
pfexec zfs snapshot -r rpool@firstboot

(Optional) Disable system beep from Terminal

(Optional) Alias “ls” and “ll” with color

Here’s my ~/.bashrc:

#
# Define default prompt to @:<"($|#) "># and print '#' for user "root" and '$' for normal users.
#
PS1='${LOGNAME}@$(/usr/bin/hostname):$(
    [[ "${LOGNAME}" == "root" ]] && printf "%s" "${PWD/${HOME}/~}# " ||
    printf "%s" "${PWD/${HOME}/~}\$ ")'
xset -b
alias ls='/usr/gnu/bin/ls -aFh --color   --group-directories-first'
alias ll='/usr/gnu/bin/ls -aFhl --color   --group-directories-first'
alias lsx='/usr/gnu/bin/ls -aFhX --color   --group-directories-first'
alias llx='/usr/gnu/bin/ls -aFhlX --color   --group-directories-first'

(Optional) Disable xscreensaver in OpenSolaris

(Optional) Reduce boot selection timeout

# edit /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
# change "timeout 30" to a more reasonable number, "timeout 10"
pfexec vi /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
# if you can't figure out how to use "vi", use "nano"
pfexec nano /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst

(Optional) Change boot mode to verbose

# edit /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
# make a copy of your kernel$ line, comment out the original
# add "-kv -m verbose" to the end of the copy of the kernel$ line
# you also need to comment out all splashimage lines
# and remove ",console=graphics"
pfexec vi /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
# if you can't figure out how to use "vi", use "nano"
pfexec nano /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst

Note: You’ll see the console login first, but after a while, the GDM login will appear.

Here’s my /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst:

For some reason, gcc can’t be found, so let’s link it

cd /usr/bin
pfexec ln -s gcc-4.3.2 gcc
