Hi there, Just a quick observation about solaris 10 that is a little annoying. Perhaps this is already fixed in nevada. I don't know.
I mostly use OpenBSD on my computers. If I then at a later date install solaris, then it will bomb out with "disk not formatted" after I have answered loads of questions. To fix boot an openbsd bootdisk (or any linux one, you just need a shell). cat /dev/zero > /dev/rwd0c (device nodes will vary for linux bootdisks) Leave that to run for 10 seconds or so for good measure, then ^C. This will blast away any fdisk table on the disk. Now you can install solaris. Anyway. It would be nice if the installer could: a) Check to see if disks are usable _before_ asking loads of questions. b) Even better. Offer to re-initialize the disk. Many Thanks Edd This message posted from opensolaris.org
