Thanks for the answer.

No problem.

I guess I have to RTFM :-)

At least you STFW. ;-)

I guess I am still learning new doc locations.

They are very easy to find. All the documentation of the packages
(except kernel) are located in /usr/share/doc or
/usr/share/doc/packages. The kernel documentation can be found at
/usr/src/linux/Documentation (once you install the kernel source).

I know what is the solaris device and slice of my UFS disk but don't
know how that translates to a linux device.

Once you have installed the drive and reboot into Linux, do a

fdisk -l

and look at the output to locate the device name of your partition. I am
not familiar with ufs and slice, however, you might find this helpful:
