Hi John, Are you using a GPT partition table? Also, are you on x86 or SPARC?
I just noticed this on Solaris documentation: - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/html/E28980/partsys.html (backup link: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37838_01/html/E69250/app-panels.html ) which say, > If the disk contains existing GPT partitions, the GPT partitions are displayed. Up to seven GPT partitions are supported. You can create one or more Solaris partitions during the installation, but you must choose one Solaris partition as the installation target. If there are multiple, existing Solaris GPT partitions, the first suitable Solaris GPT partition will be chosen by default as the installation target. Best!
