Hello Community.
I had installed solaris 5.10 OS on an X86 server using a custom-jumpstart installation program and it was performed successfully.
Due to some issues, i had to go for reinstallation using the same jumpstart but this time it failed giving below error.

I tried checking the fdisk of disk-0 on which the installation is failing and it has below output:
