Question Important question about Solaris Installation.

Hello There ,

When i try to install Solaris 8 on my machine, at the Select Disk option, it present 4 pull down menu, each menu has four options, like Other, PRI DOS, Solaris, X86Boot.

What is PRI DOS, X86Boot options ? Are these 4 menu are 4 diffirent partitions we can make in a hard disk ?

How should i handle this situation if i want install solaris only on my hard disk.

Please give me your professional advice to solve this issue.

I've had difficulty replacing X86boot with anything else but <unused>, and leaving solaris on #3 hasn't hurt anything.
