Create a Solaris Jumpstart from iso

The Solaris 9 and later CD ISO images are laid out differently than previous versions of the ISO images for Solaris. If you just want to build a jumpstart and can afford the bandwidth to do so, download the Solaris DVD and use that instead. You don't need to do any of this with the DVD iso. ...

mkcd

mkcd(1M)						  System Administration Commands						  mkcd(1M)

NAME

       mkcd - create bootable Solaris ISO image

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/mkcd -v [-l label] media-root iso

DESCRIPTION

       The  mkcd  utility takes media-root (the root of an on-disk Solaris install media) as input and creates a bootable Solaris ISO image in the
       file iso, using mkisofs(8). The file can then be burned onto a CD/DVD with utilities such as cdrw(1) or	cdrecord(1).  (Neither	mkisofs(8)
       nor cdrecord(1) are SunOS man pages.)

       Caution -

	 The directory tree media-root must contain the file boot/grub/stage2_eltorito, which will be written to the media boot sectors. This file
	 will be modified with some boot information, thus it must be writable. If necessary, first save a copy prior to running this utility.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -l label

	   Sets label as the label/volume name of the ISO image.

       -v

	   Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       media-root

	   Top-level directory of an on-disk Solaris install media.

       iso

	   Name of the output file which will contain the resulting ISO image.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Creating an ISO Image and Burning a CD/DVD

       The following commands create an ISO image from the content of s10u1 and burn the image to a CD/DVD.

	 # /usr/bin/mkcd s10u1 s10u1.iso
	 # /usr/bin/cdrw -i s10u1.iso
