Operating Systems Solaris Basic question regarding root file system copy to another disk Post 302915734 by Zam_1234 on Thursday 4th of September 2014 12:16:14 PM

Hello hicksd8,
I created the (virtual) disk (using dd, ufsdump, ufsrestore) in a physical machine. Then in the Legion simulator config file, there is an option to add that disk to slice 3 of c0t0d0s# which I did. Thus I was calling the disk to be at c0t0d0s3.
Code:
// disk ... must use virtual_disk directive
            device "memory" 0x1f40000000 +513M  {
                virtual_disk;
                load s0 rom "disk.s10hw2";
                load s3 shared "sol_2gb";
            }

When I am trying to boot with just the newly created disk (sol_2gb), I replace the "disk.s10hw2" in s0 with the new disk name and comment out the s3 line.

Here is my /etc/vfstab in the simulator with just the original disk (disk.s10hw2)"
Code:
bash-3.00# more /etc/vfstab
#device         device          mount           FS      fsck    mount   mount
#to mount       to fsck         point           type    pass    at boot options
#
fd      -       /dev/fd fd      -       no      -
/proc   -       /proc   proc    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1       -       -       swap    -       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0       /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0      /       ufs     1       no      -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3       /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3      /export ufs     1       no      -
/devices        -       /devices        devfs   -       no      -
ctfs    -       /system/contract        ctfs    -       no      -
objfs   -       /system/object  objfs   -       no      -
swap    -       /tmp    tmpfs   -       yes     -

Dave,
here is the output from the simulator:
