"It's not easy to make Solaris slices on the boot drive." As I am just realizing. The installer does not have any kind of partition software.
I have a linux boot disc and I am contemplating using gparted to resize the win partition to create a raw 50GB empty partition. Can the installer format a raw partition into a Solaris FS? If it can it will be easy (assuming it can set up the dual boot properly). This is what I'm thinking: 1) Use Gparted to resize the windows partition and therefore create a 50GB raw partition. 2) Use the opensolaris installer to format the raw partition into a Solaris FS. 3) Install opensolaris 2009.06, the setup should automatically configure the dual boot with windows and opensolaris. Does that make sense? Thanks again.
