Flash Archive Retrival Method

Need a little help figuring out how to restore a .flar image using the Flash Archive Retrival Method.

I am using Solaris 8 on a Sun V240. I boot the system using the Solaris 8 disk 1of2 and provide the necessary information asked. When the screen gets to the Flash Archive Retrival Method screen there are five options to choice from.

HTTP
NFS - I use this for restoring images from my network server
Local File
Local Tape - I use this to restore images from DAT tapes
Local Device

I am trying to figure out how to restore .flar images that are on DVDs or External Hard Drives.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

Kevin
