Hello,

nice stuff this OpenSolaris (OS). But, is it possible to create 2nd
slice on HD and format it on x86 pls ? I would like to share data on my
dualboot notebook (OS/FreeBSD). FreeBSD can mount Solaris, but not
vice-versa AFAIK. I have created the 2nd OS slice with fdisk and would
like to format the 2nd OS slice from within OS, but I am not able to
find any mean how to do it. BTW, format says disk
c0d0 got 2546 cylinders, but the disk got 9729 cylinders and the 1st
slice got 2546 cylinders. Does format make any difference
between disk and slice in this case ? Here is the data. 

# fdisk /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0

             Total disk size is 9729 cylinders
             Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks

                                               Cylinders
      Partition   Status    Type          Start   End   Length    %
