the hdd is segate (+-)17560 MB and when I start installtion of sun solaries 2.6 the system sees the hdd correctly, and the installtion goes fine with partioning the disk as follows
/ 150 MB /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0
swap 500 MB
/usr 1000 MB /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3
/usr1 100MB /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4
/usr3 5500 MB /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5
/oracle 5500 MB /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6
/usr5 4810 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
the complete hdd disk is allocated and proceed with installation.
after installation is complete the system reboots with the error that
/sbin/swapadd is not available and so many error messages and finally /usr is not found or dammaged run fsck
I boot from cdrom and run fsck for all the slices and all are fine but /usr is empty and also /sbin and again rebooting the system boot with the same error message. I repeat the installation two times with same result.
when I restored an exixting backup to the hdd it works fine with allocation of the full disk size 17560
I need to do the partions of my own not as the backup tape.
I some guide in solving this problem and in general how to partion a hdd. Iam using solaries 2.6 for the last couple of years but not that much of exerience.
I need this help really urgent
