The link you've posted is something similar to what am doing, and the error message ive sent you already are the real ones..
these were the exact messages am getting when i do the changes and cut a cd out of it and boot...
Just for your reference i'll type it the procedure pls have a look
cp /.cdrom/<somehting.zlib> /tmp
make_lofi /tmp/<something.zlib> 1
if [$? -eq 0]
then
/usr/bin/hsfs/mount -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /usr 2>/dev/msglog
else
echo "unsuccessful mount ">/dev/msglog
fi
this is what i have done so far, and its not working.The "make_lofi" thing is a function that is defined earlier in the script and "1" is taken as an agr to map the device id easily...
ive tried to change the permission of the FS from ro to rw ,didnt work.
i tried it by creating a virtual path, but to no avail...
Do you have any other work around?
Thanks

NAME
msglog - message output collection from system startup or background applications
SYNOPSIS
/dev/msglog
DESCRIPTION
Output from system startup ("rc") scripts is directed to /dev/msglog, which dispatches it appropriately.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

NOTES
In the current version of Solaris, /dev/msglog is an alias for /dev/sysmsg. In future versions of Solaris, writes to /dev/msglog may be
directed into a more general logging mechanism such as syslogd(1M).
syslog(3C) provides a more general logging mechanism than /dev/msglog and should be used in preference to /dev/msglog whenever possible.
