Hi, the official way to unpack the sparc.miniroot seems to be:
# root_archive unpackmedia /<path_to>/<Solaris_cd_image> <path_to>/<unpack_dir> You need to install Solaris 10 U6 on SPARC first to get a copy of '/boot/solaris/bin/root_archive'. But even after unpacking the image none of the files are readable (all done on a SPARC system) # cd /var/tmp/unpack_dir/sbin # ls -l install-* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 537 Oct 20 22:08 install-X-test-legibility -r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 626 Oct 20 22:08 install-X-watchdog -r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 1690 Oct 20 22:08 install-additional-prods ... # file install-* install-X-test-legibility: data install-X-watchdog: data install-additional-prods: data ... Booting the installation image from my jumpstart server shows: # ls -l install-* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 699 Oct 27 19:53 install-X-test-legibility -r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 951 Oct 27 19:53 install-X-watchdog -r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 4447 Oct 27 19:53 install-additional-prods ... # file install-* install-X-test-legibility: executable shell script install-X-watchdog: executable shell script install-additional-prods: executable shell script ... So the question is: how can I unpack and repack the miniroot for SPARC and make some changes in this filesystem image? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Willi
