SUMMARY: [SunHELP] Disk Parition in Solaris

[Asif Iqbal]

I were able to do it this way. I cancelled out of installation and dropped to
shell prompt. Then using format I can force the partitions to the cylinders I
wanted. Then invoked suninstall to go back to installation and chose VTOC table
options as my manual layout

Thanks
