Hi,
By mistake I fdisk'd all my drives on a solaris 10 x86 blade in a
jumpstart profile. Although it still works when I booted up, the drive
types show as "unknown" from the format command.

I ran fdisk and selected the standard settings(and had to fiddle with
zfs to change the root drive), however the drive description still is
different to the disks in the other blade.

The disks in the other blade, show as type "Sun ..etc...etc"

How can I copy the same disk settings from the other blade to this
one?

Thanks

Would fmthard do the trick?

I've seen this before (possibly on sparc), and it was down to
the disk having an SMI or EFI label, which is not something
you'd change just to get the "Sun..." text back.
