I had Solaris 10 11/06 installed on a 10 GB partition, and the rest of the drive was not being used. I booted up the Solaris Express Developer Edition b70 DVD and went through the fancy new installer. When I got to the last step and pressed install, it failed immediately. When I read the log I see:
list_ufs_db: The entry rdelaplante was not found in the /etc/passwd table<OM> Could not set user password table Well, it was supposed to wipe my hard drive and install Solaris before trying to look for the new user account that it was supposed to create for me. rdelaplante does not exist in my current Solaris 10 install. The new installer asked me to choose a user account to create and I chose rdelaplante. After the installation failed, I couldn't do anything. There was no back button, no try again. All I could do is press Quit or Help. I would like to see a back button. After I pressed Quit I ran the install-solaris command again and tried a few more ways. I tried with a different user account that does exist on the current installation, I tried telling it to use the partition instead of whole disk, etc.. Always the same error for whichever user I type in. Ryan
