Hello everybody,
my osol 2009.06 installation ends in errors, i'm having troubles with ZFS.
I'm new to ZFS and i don't know how to manage this, actually i hoped to learn
it after the installation... google didn't help me so much :(
here's the installation log:
<OM Jun 26 10:44:04> Timezone setting will be TZ=UTC
<OM Jun 26 10:44:04> Set timezone
<OM Jun 26 10:44:04> System reports enough physical memory for installation,

Here's how my disk is partitioned:
Cylinders
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== ===
1 Solaris 60739 60800 62 0
2 EXT-DOS 0 54708 54709 90
3 Active Linux native 57266 60738 3473 6
4 Solaris2 54709 57265 2557 4
I wonder why the swap partition (n.1) is marked as Solaris...
I'm currently having a Slackware system installed, and I'd liked to have a
transitory phase with both the system installed, then if all will be ok, I'll
convert the whole disk to ZFS...but this isn't a good start :(
Can you help me? Thanks
