Arghh! Never mind. Solaris doesn't really like the FFS partition after all. I was getting annoying mouse/screen freezes in OpenWindows, then kernel panics, and finally Solaris just munged the FDISK (God, ever since I bought Solaris, it's been nothing but FDISK corruptions..) on that drive and I'm back in FreeBSD now. I've decided that the <50MB of duplication I had planned to save by sharing a partition between the two OS's is not worth the heartache! In spite of the fact that it was an extremely clever idea, if I do say so myself.. :-) As for why I'm even bothering with Solaris when FreeBSD is obviously much faster and nicer: I want to run Java Workshop and the JDK on a "supported platform" that doesn't have Windows in the title. Also, I do SPARC/Solaris development and wanted an environment as similar as possible at home for testing purposes. Even still, it's almost not worth it. And since NetBSD's Solaris emulation on a SPARC is not that compatible, I'm having doubts that if I get it going in FreeBSD it'll even be worthwhile, but I'll try anyway. I'll keep everyone posted... ---Jake
