Hi Jim,

  1. I assume those 4 partitions already existed on your box? I would
     use something like gparted to re-partition the drive and then
     install Solaris 10 again. Solaris 11 will include gparted. For
     Solaris 10 you're on your own.
  2. The "format" command will show you the available disks and partitions.

Regards,
Brian

Hello ...

I'm new to Solaris and just installed 5.10 onto a X86 AMD 64bit box. My 
questions (2 of them), are:

1. During the install, you're offered the choices of installing onto one of 
four partitions, of which one has to be SOLARIS or the whole disk ... you're 
not given the opportunity to build your own partitions (/, home, boot, opt, 
var, tmp ...) ... I realize it lays down a ZFS file system that contains all of 
those for you, but how do I give it more room? It only installed onto 4 GB of a 
360 GB HDD. So how do I expand/enlarge/resize my root and etc?

2. I have two disks in the box. How do I see and install the second?

Thanks

JDL
