Thanks to Rich Teer, ghenry, Matthew Stier, Ole Morten Xian, Scott Mickey.
Instructions how to achieve the above are located at
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsrdb%2F50566
http://www.docbert.org/Solaris/Jumpstart/Sol9/Sol9EA-iso.html
http://bolthole.com/solaris/mount-cdrom.html
The description at docbert seems to be based on the sunsolve docs.
The docbert/sunsolve isntructions worked for me, but not the ones from
bolthole (mount complaining that the s1 image is not a ufs filesystem;
and indeed, the offsets are different). That said, I didn't attempt to
use the scanufs method.
