mounting dvd images (sol9 and sol8)
Hi all:
I just tired to burn the cd #1 of solaris 8 or others to make the jumpstart server... so I download the dvd images but when I mounted they appear on such way that I can't run setup_install_server... So this is my challenge... how to mount a dvd iso images of older solaris (9..8..etc) that can be used to make the jumpstart server... To put it clear when I put the Solaris 9 dvd disc volmgt shows something like this:
/cdrom/sol_9_905_sparc/s5: ufs
/cdrom/sol_9_905_sparc/s4: ufs
/cdrom/sol_9_905_sparc/s3: ufs
/cdrom/sol_9_905_sparc/s2: ufs
/cdrom/sol_9_905_sparc/s1: ufs
/cdrom/sol_9_905_sparc/s0: hsfs
But when I mount from loopback only one line appears but the structure isn't the same of the dvd disc...
Thanks to all,

I've always found the procedure outlined below for CDs worked fine
for me with DVDs too
http://www.riddleware.com/solx86/lofi_jump.html
But other people I have spoken to have insisted they had
to follow infodoc 50566 (on sunsolve.sun.com) to get DVD
isos to mount in order to run ./setup_install_server.

CDs and DVDs are different.
If you have a CD, you need to make a directory with 's0' and 's1' underneath. Mount slice0 (HSFS) on s0 and mount slice1 (UFS) on s1. Go into s0 and you should see the contents.Without the s1 mount, the items under Tool/Boot would be missing.
(If you're doing this via loopback, getting the s1 mount is tricky. There are several pages describing the procedure. Here's one: http://www.unix.com/showthread.php?t=18074)
The DVD has all the necessary information in s0, so all you have to do is mount slice0 (hsfs) wherever you want. The other slices aren't necessary for setting up a jumpstart server, just for booting from the media directly.
