Check to see that shared memory max in etc/system is set large enough to
accomodate the SGA of the database being created. The first step in
database creation is the startup nomount which starts up the instance,
requiring memory. If there isn't enough memory allocated the startup will
fail and you *won't* see that error. What you will see is that every
command in the creation script gives the Oracle not available error because
it isn't available :-) The instance did not start.
