So, I'm trying to install 2008.05 on my mac mini.

I've been following Brian Leonard's blog to do the installation:

Everything was working well (except for my mac keyboard not working...known 
problem), but I get an fdisk -n -f failed message when I try to install 
OpenSolaris.

I can get through the install program and the program enables me to select the 
partition.  

Here's the fdisk display:

fdisk: 1> p
Disk: /dev/disk0    geometry: 9729/255/63 [156301488 sectors]
Offset: 0    Signature: 0xAA55

 4: 00    0   0   0 -    0   0   0 [         0 -          0] unused
fdisk: 1> ^C 

The Solaris install program recognizes partition 3, until I actually
click the install button.

Any help will be appreciated.
