I am trying to create database objects on a raw partition (Solaris machines) for a new installation of Oracle. I encountered a bug (#415982) which won't allow you to select raw partition. The work around was to select file system and when prompted for the mount point, to enter my actual device (ie, /dev/rdsk/c1t2.....). Well, the program then tries to enforce the OFA standards and create directories!!! Won't work (of course!). If you have been able to successfully create the original database objects with the installer (or without), PLEASE email me!! I'm getting ready to just put a file system on it and let the installer win (but I really hate to give up!!). Thanks in advance!
