The Solaris root slice must reside within the
first 1024 cylinders of the disk. If it does not,
the installation fails after booting.
If the first fdisk partition is primary DOS (PRI DOS), use the
fdisk program to delete space from it. Try booting again. If the
first fdisk partition is extended DOS (EXT DOS) or another
operating system, use the fdisk program to delete it. Try
booting again.

1. Boot the system using the Configuration Assistant diskette.
2. Go to the Device Tasks menu.
3. Select Review/Edit Devices.
4. Select Add Device.
5. Select Define Device.
6. Enter a unique name following the EISA ID naming
conventions (for example, ITD4001), and choose Continue.
7. Select Memory Address from the list of resources, and
choose Continue.
8. Enter the address range to reserve (for example,
CA800–CFFFF), and choose Continue.
9. Return to the Device Tasks menu and select Save
Configuration.
10. Reboot the Solaris operating environment.
