Solaris 8 (SPARC Platform Edition) Installation Guide

Limitations of Default Install on Systems With More Than One Disk

If you're installing software on a system that contains more than one disk, selecting Default Install on the Select Type of Install dialog box sets up only the system disk.

The system does not recognize other disks unless you manually set up file systems on them, mount the file systems, and create entries for them in /etc/vfstab. "Managing File Systems (Overview)" in System Administration Guide, Volume 1 and format(1M) describe how to set up file systems.

If you want Solaris Web Start to set up all the disks in your system, select Custom Install on the Select Type of Install dialog box and select all the disks shown on the Lay Out File Systems dialog box.
