 No fdisk table exists. The default partition for the disk is:

   a 100% "SOLARIS System" partition

 Type "y" to accept the default partition,  otherwise type "n" to edit
the
  partition table.
 y

 then I stuck here.

 I think it maybe no partition in Solaris after you create the instance.

 I have tried "fdisk -l" on Ubuntu. It works well. 

 root at domU-12-31-39-16-46-E8:~# fdisk -l

 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders
 Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

 Disk /dev/sda1 doesn't contain a valid partition table

  Hi everyone,

 I have a trouble with displaying the partition table on OpenSolaris.

 The command "fdisk -l" does not work on OpenSolaris.

 root at ip-10-113-21-96:~# fdisk -l
 fdisk: illegal option -- l
 Usage: fdisk
 [ -A id:act:bhead:bsect:bcyl:ehead:esect:ecyl:rsect:numsect ]
 [ -b masterboot ]
 [ -D id:act:bhead:bsect:bcyl:ehead:esect:ecyl:rsect:numsect ]
 [ -F fdisk_file ] [ -h ] [ -o offset ] [ -P fill_patt ] [ -s size ]
 [ -S geom_file ] [ [ -v ] -W { creat_fdisk_file | - } ]
 [ -w | r | d | n | I | B | E | g | G | R | t | T ] rdevice

 Detailed help is available with the -h option.

 Here is the response of command "$ df"

 How to display the partition table on OpenSolaris?

 Thank you for your time!
