RE: problem reinstalling solaris10

["" <wenton@ispwest.com>]

Realizing that this is probably not the most elegant approach, any time I am cleaning off a drive that will be changing OSes, I always to a:

cp /dev/zero /dev/(whatever)

to force the entire drive clear, partition tables and all.  Takes a while, and far from elegant, but I've also never had cross-OS issues that way either.

 hi!

i was testing around with debian on a sun blade 2500, but finally can't
get the grafics card to work.

so i want to reinstall solaris 10, which was running on that machine before.

problem is, that installing with the same dvd, that i used before,
stopps with "can't find harddrive".
can it be that this is caused by grub and the linux partitions on that
drive?

and if yes, how to remove them?

thanks,
Tobias
