Add hint for Debian Bookworm ZFS Root Networking #558
Conversation
|
Taggin @rlaager, per instructions. I can add this to more than just bookworm (or even Debian?) but I wanted to add it here as it's the most recent Debian releaase and the one I'm familiar with. (I have updated to Trixie on the machine where I discovered this gap, but didn't do the install from there.) |

This seems like a solid and helpful idea.
Even better would be to specify the actual package name for the wireless utilities. Is this Then, since we will have firm package names, maybe it should just be an optional step: Ideally, do you know what stock debian-installer installs? I like to match the results of the stock install as much as possible. If debian-installer installs e.g. firmware-linux, then we should just do that unconditionally when we install the kernel. |
Note that you may need to have appropriate firmware and networking utilities installed to have a working network upon reboot. This is varied so don't be overly specific but do point it out. Signed-off-by: Ben Walton <[email protected]>

I don't know what the stock installer does as I haven't used that path in years at this point as I always do zfs root and use this doc. This is the first time I've done it on a laptop though so I only noticed the need for this now. I think those two packages are likely sufficient. In my case, I just pulled in NetworkManager which pulled in everything else I needed and was on the path to what I wanted in the end anyway. I've updated the patch to reflect your suggestion. |
