 Original question:

>  I'm trying to set up an install server directly from the .iso images
>  without burning them to cd first. After mounting the images through
>  lofiadm and starting the install server setup script, I get a message
>  like
> 
>  /mnt/Solaris/Tools/Boot does not existst
> 
>  which is true, as Boot is a link to ../../../s1, which indeed doesn't
>  exist.
> 
>  Does anyone know how to get around this? I thought this had been discussed
>  previously on comp.unix.solaris, but I couldn't find it there.

 Thanks to Rich Teer, ghenry, Matthew Stier, Ole Morten Xian, Scott Mickey.

 Instructions how to achieve the above are located at

   http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsrdb%2F50566
   http://www.docbert.org/Solaris/Jumpstart/Sol9/Sol9EA-iso.html
   http://bolthole.com/solaris/mount-cdrom.html

 The description at docbert seems to be based on the sunsolve docs.

 The docbert/sunsolve isntructions worked for me, but not the ones from
 bolthole (mount complaining that the s1 image is not a ufs filesystem;
 and indeed, the offsets are different). That said, I didn't attempt to
 use the scanufs method.
