[SunHELP] Am I screwed??

[Bageshwar X Kumar]

I fully agree with cjs .. to create partitions 4 & 7 , there is absolutely no
need to repartition slices 5,6 .. just select slice 4 and give the starting
cylinder as -> 10913 and size as 4.9 GB . Once created , select slice 7 and
partition it as per yr requirement ... Do a newfs and mount it.

Regards,
Bageshwae

No, partitions don't need to be in any specific order. He should be able
to create up to three partitions of the remaining cylinders and newfs them
while sitting comfortably in his chair.
