Let me do an example with the stock ISO image for sparc64: Device: cd0a File system: /mnt This will do something equivalent to: mount /dev/cd0a /mnt For the stock ISOs, the release is at the top of the CD, so: Base directory: / The other two should be pre-populated with working defaults, i.e. in my sparc64 example: Binary set directory: sparc64/binary/sets Now sysinst will do something like: cd /targetroot # this is where the to-be installed disk is mounted tar xpzf /mnt//sparc64/binary/sets/base.tgz Not quite, it will use progress -z, but you get the idea.
