p.s : Did you try "format -e" and then chose EFI? In this scenario you must EFI-label the whole disk (p0), rather than just a VTOC slice (henn and egg). I didn't use a 32bit cpu since 2004. Time to move on. Have several bigger SATA_2 disks connected via USB2.0 (Because eSata was unreliable at this time). Note: EFI is not yet bootable on most systems. But for 2nd-ary storage it fits well. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
