Using the Removable Hard Disk
Boot Disk Partitions
Boot Disk Partitions
The hard disk supplied with your SPARCbook is preloaded to order
with the Solaris 2 operating system; the version is dependent upon
availability and customer order. The removable disk is preconfigured as
a boot disk and is “factory” partitioned as shown in Table 6-1.
Note
The partition map may differ if the hard disk has been reloaded with the Solaris
operating system from the supplied CD-ROM. See “Re-installing the Operating
System from CD-ROM” on page 14-8.
The
save
partition is essential to support your SPARCbook’s Save and
Resume feature (see Chapter 5, “Save and Resume”) and must be the
same size as the memory capacity of your SPARCbook.
The
swap
partition is used by the operating system to store applications
that are running in the background. Its size, therefore, is affected by the
size of the main memory of your SPARCbook.
Model differences
The SPARCbook 3 and SPARCbook 3000 models use different types
of removable hard disks, which is why different device files are used by
default for the two model ranges.
