Java Format Command

The reason I cannot install the Software Companion CD is that I have a hardrive that is 10GB. On my root slice/partition there is allocated 900MB, on my /export/home slice I have 8GB for use (these values were set by default on install). The software companion tries to install 600MB into my /opt folder on my harddrive, 600MB, which I do not have. So, I was told I should unmount the /export/home drive, then partition it into two slices, each around 4GB. Then remount /export/home to one slice and then mount /opt to the other slice and this should give me the correct amount of space I need to install the Software Companion CD. I'm having problems splitting up the 8GB /export/home into two slices. I umount /export/home, and then I used the format command, typed in partition, typed in the old partition number, 7, and I resized that partition. Then I tried to create the new partition or slice, by changing the values to an unassigned partition. Is this the correct way to do it? I then did the save option from the format command, and when I rebooted, it came up with an error, what am I doing wrong, Nathan.
