I think i did set a sun disklabel because setup failed the first time when i
did not have one. I used solaris to fdisk and then removed the partitions
with yast during setup (I did NOT delete the following partitions: '/dev/sda
Quantum' and '/dev/sda3 Whole disk' when setting up. How do i check if the
disk has a disk label? Can i set it without formatting and thus needing to
do the whole setup again?
When i type 'boot disk' this is displayed:
==
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/espdma@5,8400000/esp@5,8800000/sd@3,0
Can't open boot device

Did you put a Sun Disk Label on the disk?
If you formatted the drive, you need to use the 's' command to fdisk to put
a
Sun Disk Label on the drive or you won't be able to boot from it.
