Gurus,

        I have the following problem when installing a FULL OEM load of
Solaris 8 in a Blade 100 system using jumpstart. The partition scheme is
the following:
        
                / 1300 MB
                swap 1000 MB
                /opt 1600 MB (Free space)

        This partition scheme is required by the crappy application that is
going to run in the box. The install starts fine and everything goes well
until the partition creation starts. Then is when I get an error saying
that the / partition if to small and the the default size should be 1520 MB
or something and it bombs out giving me the console prompt dropping the
installation. I loaded the box from CD before with the same parition layout
and everything worked fine. I also loaded the box using Jumpstart but with
a different partition layout , and it worked. I just want to know if there
is a way to overwrite the default size for the / partition that the install
registers. I happens to be that I need that type of layout for the box.

Thanks in advance,

Edwin
