All,

I wanted to test the UEFI capabilities for partitions > 2Tb on a X3-2L server, however I get this error when installing:

I think I booted in UEFI (well the system is set to do uefi in the bios screen).

my dhcp-entry (yes it's solaris dhcp)

what am I missing here ? I expected to make a partition >2TB. While this is obviously not possible, why is the install failing with the above error ? (oh, and this happens also in s12_0_0_4 BTW)

Thanks

Paul
