Create Diagnostic Partition

The Create Diagnostic Partition option will install a diagnostic partition on the first
bootable disk seen by the Sun Java Workstation W1100z or W2100z platform.
On an IDE system, the first bootable disk is on the primary/master IDE device. On a
SCSI system, the first bootable disk is the first disk found on the SCSI A channel. If
a disk is not found on the SCSI A channel, then it will search the SCSI B channel for
the first hard disk found.
The following subsections explain how to create and access the diagnostic partition
on the Sun Java Workstation W1100z and W2100z:
