I'm not sure; removing the "alternates" partition might be OK

To get rid of this slice you have to run format in -e (expert) mode. Otherwise you won't be able to select slice 9 in the partition menu.

If you also want to get rid of the boot slice (you don't boot from this disk[*]) you'd have to use fmthard to install a customized partition table.

But I don't think getting an additional ~24MB is worth the effort...


[*] don't even try: installgrub assumes cylinder 0 is reserved and will unconditionally overwrite:

# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0d1s2
*                          First     Sector    Last
* Partition  Tag  Flags    Sector     Count    Sector  Mount Directory
       2      5    01          0 241199910 241199909
       6      4    00          0 241199910 241199909

# cd /boot/grub; installgrub stage? /dev/rdsk/c0d1s6
stage1 written to partition 0 sector 0 (abs 16065)
stage2 written to partition 0, 233 sectors starting at 50 (abs 16115)
