Operating Systems Solaris Restore from Flash Archive on local filesystem Post 302502153 by the.gooch on Monday 7th of March 2011 04:02:15 AM

Hammer & Screwdriver Almost There

I discovered if I get to the OK prompt, I can type "boot cdrom -s"

it comes up in single user mode, bringing me straight to the root prompt ( no installation app runs )

from there, "iostat -En" got me my flash archive drive's device id, and I mounted it at /tmp/a

Now, I need to figure out how to start the installation program so that can restore from the flash archive on /tmp/a

Any ideas? I've been looking around the installation DVD but haven't found anything similar to autorun. init 5 might do the trick, though.
