Several years ago (98) I had Solaris installed along side Linux until
a RedHat install trashed it. Solaris' partition type is 82 same as
Linux swap. If I recall properly Solaris took the partition I installed
on and subdivided it and I got better info out of my boot messages
(try dmesg | less) than I did from 'fdisk -l'.
Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 > hda3
hda4 <solaris: [s0] hda11 [s1] hda12 [s2] hda13 [s3]
hda14 [s4] hda15 [s5] hda16 [s6] hda17 >
excerpted from /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda11 /solaris ufs ufstype=sun,noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/hda12 /solopt ufs ufstype=sun,noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/hda14 /solvar ufs ufstype=sun,noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/hda16 /soldoc ufs ufstype=sun,noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/hda17 /solusr ufs ufstype=sun,noauto,ro 0 0
HTH,
Mike
PS: You'll need the ufs module loaded, it's not normally.
You may even have to build it first, though it may already be
on your install disk or look in /lib/modules/*/kernel/fs/ufs/ for ufs.o
Enjoy
