Now I'm embarrassed! Yes, it just means I don't know what I am talking about. So, on a machine with a local disk, disklabel says this: a: 2097153 0 AdvFS b: 524287 2097153 swap c: 35545088 0 unused 1024 8192 d: 11324074 1572864 unused 1024 8192 e: 8388608 11010048 AdvFS f: 16146432 19398656 AdvFS g: 8388608 2621440 AdvFS h: 29671424 5873664 unused 1024 8192 and /etc/fdmns says this: drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Feb 24 2003 local_domain/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Feb 24 2003 root_domain/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Feb 24 2003 usr_domain/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 8192 Feb 24 2003 var_domain/ And in turn: root_domain: dsk0a@ -> /dev/disk/dsk0a usr_domain: dsk0e@ -> /dev/disk/dsk0e var_domain: dsk0g@ -> /dev/disk/dsk0g local_domain: dsk0f@ -> /dev/disk/dsk0f So it is indeed partitioned with disklabel and / is indeed on dsk0a: > You can put a symlink to a LSM volume in there too, but the problem I'm > running into is that the installer (text-based, because I don't have a > graphics card) is fairly insistent upon applying a disklabel that it > calculates as barely sufficient to hold the stuff you're trying to > install, and wants to use 'a' for boot, 'b' for swap, 'd' for the LSM > private partition, and so on and so forth.

(I think) I started to read the LSM manual just now but gave it up as a lot of work that I sould not be doing on company time. > Might you be so kind as to show the ls -la from your /etc/fdmns/*/, and > the disklabel -r dskX from the disks?
