These bugs are:
6413235 fdisk won't commit (-F) tables to bootcamp prepared disks
6413240 install should not run fdisk -F when a solaris2 partition
already exists.
Credit for tracking down the fact that install insists on re-writing
the fdisk table goes to Dan Price's totally mad trussing skills.
Since those bugs don't seem to be posted on opensolaris (yet),
here's the relevant work around from 6413240:
Pre-layout the Solaris2 partition (partition id 191), and then wrap
fdisk to not do anything for a commit (-F) operation:
/# cd /usr/sbin/
/usr/sbin# mv fdisk fdisk.real
/usr/sbin# cat > fdisk
#!/bin/sh
echo "$*" | grep -- "-F" > /dev/null
if [ $? = 1 ] ; then
/usr/sbin/fdisk.real $*
fi
/usr/sbin# chmod +x fdisk
/usr/sbin#
-jan
