Hi,

I just installed Solaris 9 on one of the disk.
Prior to this Solaris 8 was running on machine.I wanted a dual boot setup!!

So installed Solaris 9 on free disk and selected "modify EEPROM" to always
boot from this disk(ie solaris9

After the installation completed i get the error saying:
Bad Magic Number in Disk Label

i tried to boot the machine to solaris 8.Solaris 8 comes up fine,but
solaris 9 does'nt :((

-Thanks
-Dilip
