- Install a SPARC system with Solaris 10 10/08 or higher
- Boot system from disk
- /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
- mkdir -p /temp/images
- mkdir -p /temp/miniroot_tree
- Insert Solaris 10 SPARC DVD into drive
- mount -F hsfs /mnt
- cp /mnt/boot/sparc.miniroot /temp/images/sparc.miniroot.old
- umount /mnt
- /boot/solaris/bin/root_archive unpack /temp/images/
sparc.miniroot.old \
/temp/miniroot_tree

Yup, tried that.
The last line causes the same error from my previous post.

gzcat: /temp/images/sparc.miniroot.old: not in gzip format
getdisk/read: Inappropriate ioctl for device
/dev/lofi/2: Error 0
/dev/rlofi/2: No such device or address
Unknown_fstyp (no matches)
invalid root archive
