in the first place, Opensolaris installer will only install into UFS or ZFS partition.....but u want ext3?????? >>>Solaris detects the extended drive as 1 50gb drive instead of 2 drives as 30 >>>and 15 gb. Why?? Please help.. Yes, I think that is due to non-recognition of extended partition - which is only now available (jul2009, so no download image has that feature yet?) http://blogs.sun.com/jkini/entry/opensolaris_can_now_be_installed http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/pages/2009070201/ For standard multiboot setup perhaps u can refer to: http://srdandukic.blogspot.com/2008/08/multi-boot-linux-and-opensolaris.html Hope that helped....thanks. -- Regards, Peter Teoh
