(I searched through the site, but didn't find anything really relevant).

I have an OpenSolaris SXDE installed on my hard drive, in partition /dev/hda3. 
The partition size is 20 GB; I selected that for a trial of SXDE. Since I like 
it very much, I want to get the same install in a larger partition. I have no 
clue how to do that in Solaris, due to the slices.
In Linux, I'd 'dump' all partitions, and 'restore' them in previously created 
larger partitions, updated /etc/fstab, booted to a live CD and 'setup' grub.
Since I am relatively new to Solaris, I would not know how to create the (new) 
slices in another partition (that can be created in Linux, I guess), how to 
'restore' the partitions (since Solaris can only 'see' one partition). Then I 
wouldn't know how to install the bootblock in/of Solaris.
I do know how to chainload to the latter later, from Linux, though.

If any such description exists, could someone please point me into the proper 
direction ?

Thanks,

Uwe
