This is what is says:
# size offset fstype
a: 1639008 0 4.2BSD
b: 1049328 1639008 4.2BSD
c: 78165360 0 4.2BSD
d: 75477024 2688336 4.2BSD
/dev/wd0a would be mounted / it's large enough to contain /usr, and
/dev/wd0d would be mounted /home
I accepted the default offset values given to me by sysinstall, on PCs
the first 63 sectors at the start of a disk are reserved for boot
loader. Could this be a problem in Sparc? I have to run to Uni now, but
I'll try reserving 63 sectors and reinstalling from scratch.
