I remember noticing an article some time ago about disks > 8GB - but
cannot
now locate it
Anyone know of a fix (using install kernel from Slakware 3.5) ?
Thanks,
Nick
1. Anyone add HD>8GB on solaris7 x86 successfully?
Hi,
I've read the FAQ for solarisX86. It seems that solaris7
can NOT BOOT a disk larger then 8GB. Is is also means that I
can not use whole my 20GB IDE hard drive as a solaris disk drive?
When I try to identify a new disk type via format utility:
format -> Other -> cylinder=2492 -> alternate cylinders=2 -> phy cylinders=2494
-> heads=255 ... the system shows that '255' is out of range.
sincerely,
mike
