You should not format your disks. If you're concerned that data in the disk's filesystems is causing problems with the installer (even before they're mounted), you can boot to failsafe, umount all disk-based filesystems (or don't have it mount them for you) and do something like: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/XXX bs=1024k for each slice. Then reboot to the installer. In any case, the behaviour you observe (inconsistent network configuration options) appears to be a bug. I don't see it in the bug database, so you should file it at bugs.opensolaris.org. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
