solaris -- format

Just installed solaris 9 on a box for testing, network and disk 1 is setup and working fine, I need to setup the 2nd disk.

This should be fairly simple but seen a few things that through me off, nerver had to actually patition one so wanted to see if I can get some pointers so I don't things messed up here.

On this second disk I just need to partition it with a few partions such as

/BACKUP
/LOGS
/ARCHIVE
/opt
/opt/iplanet

have seen that the vfstab needs to be edited after the partitions are created, does the partition process not do that?

here is what I have right now far as the disk 2 that I need to partition goes.

PARTITION MENU:
0 - change `0' partition
1 - change `1' partition
2 - change `2' partition
3 - change `3' partition
4 - change `4' partition
5 - change `5' partition
6 - change `6' partition
7 - change `7' partition
select - select a predefined table
modify - modify a predefined partition table
name - name the current table
print - display the current table
label - write partition map and label to the disk
!<cmd> - execute <cmd>, then return
quit
partition> print
Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 7506 + 2 (reserved cylinders)

Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
