I won't help in this case but...

I had Sol10 installed on my U10's wd0.
I wanted to have a dble boot with NetBSD.
So I used the multi-cd1 and install NetBSD.
Finally NetBSD, didn't even notice Solaris (nor the existing partition)

Strange how I didn't get any chance to keep Solaris.
Hopefully I didn't use all the disk for wd0a/wd0b so I may be able to
reinstall solaris later...
