We don't have slice boundaries i'm not agree with you, in SXDE3, you can choose the slices you want, and preserve existing slices. That's what i did, preserving slice 0 ans slice 1 used by Indiana.

And i don't want to follow the way Bob Netherton show me in http://blogs.sun.com/bobn/date/20051014) - Having only one partition, i have to install Indiana first, because it take all the partition, then growing this partition to have place to create new slices (solaris slices in this case). For me, Indiana has to write in the MBR and in s0 to make grub fully fonctionnal. Then SXDE writes in the MBR and in slice 3. So i just have to chainload to slice 3, i.e. "root (hd0,1,a)", are my presomptions correct? But when doing this, grub display: root (hd0,1,a) Filesystem type unknown, parition type 0xbf makeactive chainloader +1 Error 13: Invalid or unsupported format Thanks for reply, -- Gerard HENRY _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
