Solaris

I honestly don't know. Solaris normally works on the concept of slices, rather like IRIX, NetBSD etc. It would actually have been better to give the whole disk to Solaris, rather than having partitions. What you must do is confirm absolutely that no other slice overlaps this 2nd partition.

That i am sure,

As will installing it asked me to create the above 2 slices on partition one.
I thought something would come for partition 2 also, but nothing came up.

And i am stuck now.

This will happen when you install Solaris on a x86 system. Before install, even before creating the slices, the install program will ask if you want to partition the hard disk using fdisk. There, if you choose not to, you will get the entire disk for Solaris installation. The partition that you have created is a hard partition not a slice. You can install another OS on the other partition.

You could do a backup and reinstall the OS from scratch again...

1. As it's always good to be confident installing an OS.

2. Put the first installation down as a practice run.

3. Let's you rehearse your backup/restore procedure.

Even though i install another OS in the other partition, how can i access that partition afterwards.

Everything here is practice, as i am just trying to figure out things and the installation is being done on a VmWare.

The partition has to be in a format that Solaris would understand. So if you put Windows on it and you want Solaris to be able to read/write that partition you would have to be using FAT32, not NTFS, as Solaris does not support NTFS.

Similarly the magic id in the main-boot-record would indicate that the partition was a DOS or Windows one. Yours seems to say it's a Solaris partition.
