Hi,

i wanted to use the ISO images downlodable from SUN to setup an
installserver of Solaris 9 12/02. I am able to mount the CD's with the help
of lofi but this will give me just the first slice (s0) which is hsfs, the
other slices are ufs and can't seem to be accesses via lofi. Has aynone
tried to disassamble the images in a way the with the help of dd etc. one
can acces all data in the images without actually burning one or more cd's?
My goal is beeing able to do an "setup_install_server" from the images; but
even in the first step the script needs to access slice 1 which contains the
miniroot for jumpstart...

Cheers,
Mat.
