Darren,
I would need to test this out to confirm, but I'm pretty sure everything
works as it should:
- User has a disk with windows/linux installed already.
- User boots a liveCD.
- User uses something like gparted to edit the partition table and
creates a new partition for the solaris install.
- TD runs and finds both partitions. Marks them both as "preserve" (the
default)
- The installer runs select_disk() from the Target Controller. (or
whichever function is right - I don't know TC that well)
- TC sets up the correct slice information in the gparted-created
solaris partition
- TI runs and sees a "preserve" action on the new solaris partition and
nothing happens. sees a "create" action on slice 0 so it creates the
needed slices in the partition
- The installer continues and the user has a fantastic installation
experience.
Does this sound right to you?

The change looks good, but can you confirm that this doesn't impact a partition
that already exists on the disk negatively.
Specifically, if you have a partition that is functional with a start_sector=0,
for Windows or Linux, will this remain unchanged in the fdisk table written, if
preserve is set as the action?
Thanks,
Darren.

Good morning,
Could I get a quick code review for:
7040308<http://monaco.us.oracle.com/detail.jsf?cr=7040308> Target cylinder
boundary adjustments are made in wrong order
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~drewfish/cr_7040308/
Target unittests run fine with the change.
Thanks!
