If you want to copy a CD, then mkisofs is not what you're looking for.
mkisofs is used to create a new iso image for CDs.
The easiest way to copy a CD is to simply read it and copy the output to a
file, like so:
cat /dev/cdrom > /tmp/Solaris-2.6.raw
Now you can burn the image you've got in /tmp/Solaris-2.6.raw to a CD, liks
so:
cdrecord /tmp/Solaris-2.6.raw
