Create a custom CD boot
I'm doing as the official document of the SUN :

www.sun.com/blueprints/1205/819-3731.pdf

Who on page 15 / 18, asks to be executed the following command:

3.Combine mboot and pboot into a single file called mboot+pboot.cd.
Code:
# dd if=/dev/dsk/c1t1d0p0 of=mboot+pboot.cd bs=512 count=2

I try this command, change the c1t1d0p0 for my correct device (SPARC=/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0) and gave error:

Code:
# dd if=/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 of=mboot+pboot.cd bs=512 count=2
dd: opening `/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0': I/O error

What am I doing wrong?

Additional information:

Code:
# echo | format

your manual is for x86 platforms. you have a sparc system...

This document is also obsolete as Solaris on x86 now uses GRUB instead of the DCA.

I changed the file / dev/dsk/c1t1d0p0 to the file / dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0.
'P' is for x86 and "s" is for SPARC.
U have another document about customized CD?

That one is obsolete too but might be a better start:
