Yes, probably in libefi.so, efi_read(): http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/lib/libefi/common/rdwr_efi.c#450 There is an array of known partition type GUUIDs, conversion_array[], and Apple's HFS+ GUUID isn't included in the array, it seems. So the partition tag for the HFS+ EFI partition remains V_UNASSIGNED, and the HFS+ EFI partition is skipped... I've just written the first 20k from the Mac HDD to a USB flash memory stick, and using USB & the sd driver the s1 HFS+ EFI partition is missing there, too. > > I'd expect that the standard Solaris x86 install software will produce > > a nice mess on this EFI (& FDISK) partitioned HDD. :-) > http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6374985 > > Logged as a P2 bug because "nice mess" == massive data corruption! Hmm, well, I've not yet tried installing Solaris x86 on this Intel Mac, so I'm not 100% it will corrupt the HDD. Most likely the HDD will end up beeing corrupted, I'd say. Does the Solaris installer know how to install to EFI partitioned HDDs? I don't think so...
