Hello,
This is a longshot but (from
http://www.reviewboard.com/Section/Cover/SunE450):
"the special Sun 'Whole Disk' partition. This partition (which must
reside as the 3rd partition on this disk) defines the geometrics & size
of the drive"
I like this (from http://www.reviewboard.com/Section/Cover/E10k):
"Linux? Yes the Sun Enterprise 10000 can run Linux to. The UltraSparc II
CPU is fully supported by various Linux distributions" ... "Emails have
been seen on the Linux Kernel development mailing list of kernel
compiles (2.4) in less then 5 seconds. (To give you an idea how this
compares, on a Athlon 1Ghz machine, with a fast 10k SCSI HD, this will
take 4+ minutes)."
