I'm trying to install Solaris express build 52 on a Dell Inspiron e1505. I've 
set up the partitions on the hard drive, but during the install the installer 
reports i have a malformed mbr. I believe that it's not recognizing my SATA 
controller. When I boot in single user mode, and use the format command, it 
says that my that the device was not recognized. Has anyone else had similar 
problems or know how I could go about resolving this?

By the way, the 'Sun Device Detection Tool" tells me that my "82801GBM/GHM 
(ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE" is supported in solaris 10 
11/06...the only hardware on my system that it doesn't like is my wireless card 
and my audio controller.
