How to create a flash archive of cdrom -s boot?

Hi All,

I would like to create a flash image of a balde 100 with a SUNWrneq install. I tried to flash this install by booting off the cdrom in single user mode.I originally loaded the HD with 2 partitions; / on s0 and swap on s1, then I mounted so to /a on the cdrom and then I ran the following flarcreate command:

flarcreate -n flash_root -c -S -R /a -e root_archive -x /aflash -x /tmp/root -a me /a/flash/SUNWCrneq-solaris-10-GA.flar

The error message is as follows:

File size of "flash/SUNWCrneq-solaris-10-GA.flar" has increased by 2121474920 blocks

1 error(s)

Archive creation complete

flar -i against the archive says that the archive is unreadable.

Please, can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

Hi Phil,

Maybe a typo. Your command does not omit the directory /a/flash but /aflash. You could amending this or, try creating a filesystem with your original swap area and mounting the on /tmp/b and sending flar image there.

flarcreate -n flash_root -c -S -R /a -e root_archive -x /aflash -x /tmp/root -a me /a/flash/SUNWCrneq-solaris-10-GA.flar

Regards

Will.

Hi WillYou are right. The typo was made on the post but not in the actual command line. My fault.Phil
