Actually slice 0 is only slice 0, not necessary root ( yes, I know in format there is root next to the slice, but as I spoke with few Sun guys this is inherited from somewhere, and it's not used ). Names ( root, swap etc. ) are just tags in VTOC, and DO NOT represent actual content on the slice ( actually you can change them, if that's feel more comfortable ). So, I do not know if there is a way to install it from CD this way, or you have to install it with no swap slice, and then manually add slice 0 as swap slice in vfstab, but this is completely legal installation ! The only thing that I'm not sure of is about changing default boot drive and adding proper slice in OBP. HTH, PEter >> I were able to do it this way.
