[SPARCbook] Sleep partition on 2.6 ? Battery time ?

Hello !

After finally having partitioned my 12G drive in to 8G, installed
Solaris 2.6 and the Tadpole packages and the patches and a bunch of Gnu
stuff ( zip zap and gnap gcc gmake emacs ... ) and Openstep etc. I
realise I dont seem to have a sleep partition.

Since the partitioning was made with the standard Sol2.6 install I guess
I would have had to make it myself. When the SB goes to sleep I have to
do the config no-resume? boot disk thing. I guess I could live with it
but I'm concerned my filesystem might get damaged eventually. Is there a
way to add that partition afterwards without having to reinstall the
whole thing again, it really took me quite some time to get all that
stuff on the drive.

Also: how long battery time do you guys get from your SBs. I was using
mine actually outdoors and got about half an hour of battery time.
Shouldnt the battery be able to do at least an hour?
Maybe one should try and find one of these external battery packs that
they made. 1/2 hour is not realistic for any real mobile activity (I
dont work that fast).

(and I didnt bring my manual. Guess how long it took for me to figure
out / remember that question mark at the end of no-resume  : - ? Arrrgh)

Thanks,
Peter
