You will need to delete all the Linux partitions, then create a single Solaris partitions. Solaris can create slices within the Solaris partition, to manage individual areas for /var, swap etc. but best way for a single disk is to use zfs and one big filesystem. -- Tony Reeves Christchurch New Zealand
