I successfuly installed oracle8i enterprise edition 8.1.7 on raw partition (solaris5.8)

I would like to install it on raw partition

I'm asking You because documentation supported isn't clear enough for me (no examples)

That's what I did :

i created 2 raw partitions on my RAID:

/dev/dsk/c2t0d0s3, size :5GB

/dev/dsk/c2t0d0s4 size :5GB

oracle $ set
....
....
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/8.17
DBCA_RAW_CONFIG=/export//home/oracle/mapping_ascii

oracle $ more $DBCA_RAW_CONFIG
/u01 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s3
/u02 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s4

oracle $ /cdrom/oracle8i/runInstaller &

from root i did :
root # ln -s /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s3 /u01
root # ln -s /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s4 /u02

I changed owner and group to oracle/oinstall

Installer pointed the detination directory as /u01/app/oracle but during instalation process it changed on /tmp/u01/app/oracle and didn't let me install on raw partition
what am i doing wrong ?

help me please

greetings
