Bill,
If you ever copy a Solaris boot disk with dd and cdrecord you will find
yourself with an unbootable reproduction. This is a known problem and is
addressed by Jorg in the README.copy file. The readcd program will
create an image file from the boot disk that can be used as input to
cdrecord. The resulting CD will boot and start the Solaris install.
