Ceri,
It sounds as if slice 0 was a preexisting slice. AI will attempt to
preserve existing slices.
First, delete slice 0, either manually by format(1m), or automatically
by deleting it explicitly in the manifest:
Then you can specify slice 0 to use the entire disk explicitly.
The following manifest tags will cause first the deletion, then
recreation using the entire disk:
<ai_device_vtoc_slices>
<slice_action>delete</slice_action>
<slice_number>0</slice_number>
</ai_device_vtoc_slices>
<ai_device_vtoc_slices>
<slice_action>create</slice_action>
<slice_number>0</slice_number>
<slice_size>max_size</slice_size>
</ai_device_vtoc_slices>
