Thanks for the response.

I have an Ultra 60 with two internal hard drives, each 9GB capacity. I
have set up drive 0 to be the OS drive with a / partition, a swap
partition, then like 2 partitions of like 10MB each for the databases.
I can't post the output just yet, because all the drives I did this on
are trashed. I will reinstall/configure and I'll post it later on
today or tomorrow.

I did set that option in /etc/system. I also tried it once without the
option, but I got the same problem. Each disk has 2 slices of 10MB
each with 2 databases per slice. I can't get the latest patch because
I don't have a Sunsolve account... could that be it?
