Yes, I was trying DreamLinux on this partition b4 I installed openSolaris on it.
This shouldn't be a problem because fdisk upon install should format the drive to 0xbf, no? It is before the swap partition, though. I'm trying to install this on the first part of the disk (sdb1), the swap is sdb3 IIRC, if not it's sdb4 - either way the swap comes second. I do recall seeing in fdisk that swap and solaris use the same ID, but still, it shouldn't be a problem with this...I don't think...the problem seems to be not having GRUB being able to boot Solaris. I have the way my disks are partitioned above. If I have it set to boot the second drive first, then sdb1 is the first partition reached, NOT any swap space. So what should I do, try to use gparted to delete the partition then allocate it as FAT or something and then install solaris on it? I do, seriously think this is a GRUB problem above anything else, though. I do need to go to class now, though, so there will probably be 5-6 hours before I answer any more responses.. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
