These notes will assist you in installation of Solaris to hard drive 0 when the \"Limit Primaries\" option is not enabled in BootIt NG.<\/p>\r\n
If you want to install the bulk of Solaris to a hard drive other than zero, then you can still reference these instructions just create a Solaris boot partition (BEh\/190) on HD0 and the other partitions on the other hard drives.<\/p>\r\n

\r\ninsert the Solaris 7 boot diskette - Device configuration Assistant\/boot<\/li>\r\n\t
\r\nThe size of this disk should be very close to the Solaris 7 Partition
\r\ncreated in Step 1. In my installation I can see 1153MB as the size of
\r\nthe disk. This is normal.
\r\n
\r\nIf for some reason the selected disk is not the correct size, skip to
\r\nNOTES 1<\/a> and come back here to continue.<\/a><\/li>\r\n\t
\r\n
\r\nInstallation continues and the machine will reboot after the installation.
\r\n
\r\nAs the machine reboots you will notice that there is no BootIt NG menu
\r\nappearing. This is because the Solaris installation has overwritten the
\r\nMBR on the disk.
\r\n
\r\nNext steps are intended to reactivate BootIt NG.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t
