When wanting to customize a computer with both Linux and OpenIndiana systems, a swap partition (code 0x82) is needed for Linux and a Solaris partition (code 0xbf) is needed for OpenIndiana, but the OpenIndiana installer refuses to install on that partition, outputting the message "There must be only one Solaris partition"
