Question Problem creating sol8 container using seperate / /usr and /var ufsdumps
Hello experts

New to solaris 8 containers and zones in general and I'm having some problems creating a Solaris 8 container using ufsdumps of /, /usr and /var.

I have created the zone which worked fine and a running the following command.

Code:
zoneadm -z zone_s8 install -v -p -a /root.ufs

I'm getting the following output:

Code:
      Log File: /var/tmp/zone_s8.install.1219.log
       Product: Solaris 8 Containers 1.0
     Installer: solaris8 brand installer 1.2
          Zone: zone_s8
          Path: /u01/zone_s8
        Source: /root.ufs
    Media Type: ufsdump archive
    Installing: This may take several minutes...
  Sanity Check: Passed.  Looks like a Solaris 8 system.
Postprocessing: This may take several minutes...

        Result: Postprocessing failed.
        Result: *** Installation FAILED ***
      Log File: /var/tmp/zone_s8.install.1219.log

The log file is complaining that it cannot access files in /var, which will be true as I havent loaded the ufsdump of var yet.

What am I doing wrong here? Is there a way to build a container using dumps of /, /usr and /var?

I have read and re-read the man page but there doesnt appear to be a way of passing multiple dumps at once.

Any help appreciated
