Converting an EFI labeled disk to SMI, SUN Solaris SPARC 11/06

I would like to know the proper way to convert a disk labeled EFI to SMI. I have looked at some documentation and they state not to use format -e to convert the label, but to use fdisk.

> The usage for fdisk is "fdisk /dev/rdsk/"device"p0 or whatever partition is being modified to change the label.

Not everyone reads these forums on the weekend, and Monday was a holiday in the US.Should be no problems with 'format -e' on SPARC. You won't use 'fdisk' on SPARC architecture disk formats.-- Darren
