Hi everybody. I'm experiencing some problems in Solaris 10 CD installation.

I encounter a problem in disk selection, because I receive this error,
selecting the disk on which I want to install the OS:


This disk (c0t0d0) cannot be used to install Solaris software.

This disk drive does not have a valid label. If you want to use
this disk for the install, exit the Solaris Interactive
Installation program, use the format(1M) command from the
command line to label the disk, and type 'install-solaris' to
restart the installation program.

I exited the install program and tried to label the disk. The disk's
partition is:

partition> print
Current partition table (unnamed):
Total disk sectors available: 17672849 + 16384 (reserved sectors)

Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 unassigned wm 0 0 0
1 unassigned wm 0 0 0
2 backup wm 34 8.43GB 17679025
3 unassigned wm 0 0 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 0
8 reserved wm 17672849 8.00MB 17689232

and when I try to label the disk the error is:

partition> label
Ready to label disk, continue? yes

label error: EFI Labels do not support overlapping partitions
Partition 8 overlaps partition 2.
Warning: error writing EFI.
Label failed.


My hardware is:
Sun Enterprise 450 (2 X UltraSPARC-II 400MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.14, 1536 MB memory installed

Can you explain me where is the error?

Thank in advance.

Arrigo.

I tried to resize backup partition so that it is:
partition> p
Current partition table (unnamed):
Total disk sectors available: 17672849 + 16384 (reserved sectors)

Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 unassigned wm 0 0 0
1 unassigned wm 0 0 0
2 backup wm 34 8.43GB 17672848
3 unassigned wm 0 0 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 0
8 reserved wm 17672849 8.00MB 17689232

partition> label
Ready to label disk, continue? yes
partition>

In this way, I can label the disk without error, but the installation
gives the same error. At the moment I'm re-formatting the disk.

Whats with partition 8? Thinking it must be 7.

Please delete the partition and install the OS.
You can create the partition 7 if the OS is installed
or within the installation process

I know that it must be 7, but I can't remove it. I don't know how it has
been created...
