If you're not absolutely clear on how the partition table in the first sector
on disk (aka fdisk or MBR partition) works, be very careful. You can easily
trash the other installs. You're asking for an entry there to point to a
Solaris partition table. I'm not current on what's going on w/ the

I believe this is not technically precise. If you label a 3Tb disk with

Are you trying to dual/triple boot the system? I would assume such a thing is
possible, but probably

Jan,
Thanks. I don't want to connect to the Internet w/ the system, so adding
packages requires cloning the repository. I'll probably have to do that
eventually, but for now I'm going to try installing to one of the disks w/ the
LiveCD and then migrating the BE to a proper size pool and clo

When you boot the OI installer DVD, with a 2TB drive attached, OI simply cannot

I am sure there are several others, but this just off the top of my head.

Most BIOSes really don't like trying to boot to things beyond a
certain threshold into the drive [who even bothers implementing full
LBA support, anyway...]
Make a traditional MBR partition table and take a 100GB primary
partition for root (or 64 GB or 32 or something smaller) - make it
using gpar
(My advice, BTW, would be to try putting the 2T drive into one of the

Sigh..
More fun.
After an absolutely maddening day I got S10_U8 installed as desired.
My 2 GB DIMM arrived, so I installed it. Now the boot hangs for the regular
image and the failsafe doesn't find an installed OS despite there being 3
copies in the rpool mirror!

Thank you for your answer!
Would driver from Solaris 10 work and if yes how to get it from installed
