To Create File Systems on the New Boot Disk

Use this procedure to create a file system on the new boot disk for every slice on the
temporary boot disk. When you are finished, go to "To Copy the Contents of Non-
Root File Systems Onto the New Boot Disk" on page B-22.
Do this step to create a file system on the new boot disk for the /root and /home
directory slices. You should also do this step for any other directories you created,
aside from the /backup and /swap directories.
Create a file system on each slice, other than S2, on the disk using the newfs(1M)
command.
Note – Do not create a file system on slice 2 or else it will erase data on all the other
slices.
Enter the newfs command followed by the device name of the slice. In this example,
the device name for slice 0 of disk c7t16d0 is /dev/rdsk/c7t16d0s0.
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c7t16d0s0
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c7t16d0s0: (y/n)? y
/dev/rdsk/c7t16d0s0:
