Rep:
The format utility will let you modify the partition, but be advised!
word of warning: The non-destructive commands should be just that, but it is up to you to decide whether to run them on your system or not. The destructive commands will destroy data on a disk; run these commands only if you are sure you know what you are doing.
I've never used format to modify a slice so don't really know if it will destroy data if your carefull not to overlap slices other than slice 2, which is the whole Solaris partition/disk.
I've always use the installer to set the Gb/Mb size for each slice and let the installer automatically set the slice boundry, example screenshot:
The system is already in a very distressful state if slices are overlapping.
Please run the non destructive "prtvtoc /dev/dsk/c0d0s2" command and post the output here.
I reinstalled the OS again. While booting its shows the warning message "Notice: Failed to initialize inband hotplug controller" and its booting normally. Once booting over its i am getting shrinked display in single line. While video selection window in installation phase i tested the video selection is good. Please advice me on this issue.
