    Great thanks all, that was the problem however I can now only see 8gb of the
    40gb but I'm trying to overcome that also. I've put the geometry setting in
    the silo.conf put still I can't see the rest of the disk. I'm curious, when
    I brought this drive over from the other machine with Linux already
    formatted with ext2, Yast2 let me configure the whole drive. Could I some
    how partition it on the other machine and create the disk label without
    losing the partition information to over come the size limitation?

    See my article on installing on an Ultra 5 at:

    http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue72/forsberg.html

    This should give you a good overview. I think fdisk
    should work but you need to create a Sun disk
    label (Option s). I think you need to then write
    out this info to the disk (Option w). I used the
    Solaris format option instead.

    Good Luck,
    Bruce Forsberg
