Re: Mounting Sparc with Veritas enterprise admin service partitions / vxsvc

You might need to get VxFS installed on your Solaris system to mount
the Veritas volumes.  Also, root is a 3GB volume which includes /etc, no
need to try an mount this separately - just mount / and /var and you
should be ok.
