I have a Sparc Storage array 101 with 6 drives installed connected
to a Sparcstation 5 running Woody 3.0R2. I have got as far as loading the kernel
module and the box sees the array and installed drives but run I attempt to run
fdisk to partition the drives it returns “Unable to open /dev/sd*”
when I attempt it on any of the drives. I ruled out hardware because I can
access the drive fine from Solaris. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am
doing wrong? Below is the boot messages and my attempts to partition the disks -Jason
