I'm currently stumped with the problem of mounting a fixed disk with a single FAT32 partition (created by vxWorks) using Solaris 8 for Sparc.
We have been in contact with Sun and were simply told that, "Creating and mounting a pcfs on a sparc-based fixed disk is not supported." In fact, as I understand it, nothing (except formatting) can be done with a fixed disk that does not have a solaris label present. This causes a problem because both vxWorks and Windows expect the Fat32 MBR to reside at sector 0. Does anyone have any tricks on how to accomplish this, or is it simply impossible like we have already been told? What about modifying the sd/ssd driver using opensolaris code? Would it be possible for us to build a new driver that we could run on Solaris 8 that allow a disk without the solaris label to be mounted? Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated!
