Problems installing UltraPenguin 1.1

Problems installing UltraPenguin 1.1

[DURANTEZ Marc]

I have an UltraSparc2 with 3 HDs:
- sda: With UltraLinux 1.0.9 (kernel 2.1.106) That can boot and do fine.
- sdb: With UltraLinux 1.0.9 (kernel 2.1.106) but messed up.
- sdc: With Solaris.

I want to install UltraLinux 1.1 on sdb but the fdisk nor the diskdruid of the installation program (tftpboot.img)
weren't able to read the partitions of sdb nor sda. But fdisk did well during the installation of UltraPenguin 1.0.9 .

Nevertheless, sda looks good because I use it to boot Linux and fdisk just works
fine.

So, what should I do?
