Hey guys.. I recentley decided to re-install OpenSolaris/Solaris Express..
I had it up and running without any problems, with the exception being that during install I allowed it to "auto-layout" and it only allocated 5gb for the \ directory.. which didnt allow me much space to hold stuff I wanted to share across the network.. I talked to some people and decided to re-format as I did not have much or any files on the box I needed to keep.. I popped the drive out and into a windows machine and formatted the drive.. no problem. When I went to re-install, per my guru's advice, I laid out the file system as follows.. I allocated the entire 160gb partition to the solaris partition.. then constructed the file system like this.. slice 0 - / everything but 5gb slice 1 - / swap - 5gb I tried many configs.. making the swap 2gb and upto 5gb.. each time, the install gets done, and it says that it cannot load boot blocks so the install fails.. I re-start, without the DVD (which I installed from) in the drive.. it says about I believe "nested trap" then reboots.. I cant figure out what I have done wrong.. Can anyone shed some light on the situation? Ive got a 2ghz processor with 512 ram on a 160gb hard-drive.. Like i said, this was up and running I just dont know what I did wrong this time.. is that boot configuration wrong? Thanks for all the help Ryan This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
