[cs615asa] display the partition table on OpenSolaris

[Pengfei Liu]

 Thank you for your help!

 There is no partition OpenSolaris. If I want to define a partition table.
I typed "$ format" first. With the guide of FORMAT MENU, I typed
"partition", then I got the WARNING response. This is different from what
Aditi executed before.

 Aditi- I don't think we need to create partitions just to show partition
 table, this is not part of HW#1 I guess. If there are no partitions then
 don't you think we should document that only.

 Thanks,
 Javed

 Yes
 format > partition works perfectly well
 but the solaris system will show that it has no parition and is 100%
solaris
 so make the partition first and then use fdisk command to see the
partition
