Sounds like you haven't set a sun disklabel on your disk. You can do this with fdisk, though I think you'll have to reinstall. For more info read the notes of partioning in the sparc install notes for slink. Someone out there probably has a better idea though, I'm a linux on sparc novice :) Andrew -- Andrew Howell Managing Director Informed Technology E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph: 08 9380 4244 Fax: 08 9380 4354
