I'm not sure why you posted this to nfs-discuss at opensolaris.org as this 
isn't about (a) NFS and (b) OpenSolaris :-)

Hint ... the -F flag means only the -f filelist is included - if that 
excludes critical files than flarcreate doesn't like it. Flash archives 
are all about creating bootable images.
