I created a partition for Linux, made it active, and created a Solaris 
partition. I installed the latest bits for Slim and install-finish 
updated the Solaris partition to be active. Before the install the Linux 
partition was active. This was with the USB image. I am not sure why you 
are seeing the Solaris partition not being marked active. It could be we 
are having a failure with the install-finish script on cd for some 
reason and that is why the partition didn't get marked active. It should 
have been updated in install-finish.

I will try running a cd image tomorrow and see what happens.

thanks,
sarah
