Question about mounting Solaris ISO Images

Hi all,

I am familiar with being able to mount ISO images using lofiadm and
mount, but this question specifically relates to ISO images of the
Solaris install DVD. Solaris install media contains 6 slices. The
first slice is a hsfs filesystem and the remaining 5 are ufs. When I
use the lofiadm/mount solution, I can see the hsfs slice just fine.
What I'd like to know is if there is a way to mount slice 1 (the first
ufs partition) from an ISO file without first burning the image to DVD
and putting it in a DVD drive on a solaris box. I do know that when
you put a Solaris install DVD into a windows machine, you are only
able to see the hsfs partition (slice 0). Any help is greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

-Matt
