Do you know why it takes so long? Do you know if the problem is IO bound and a

Well it builds more than what i need for one.
Everytime distro_const runs it runs pkg/mkboot_archive/mk_solaris.zlib ....
As I only need the Boot_archive there is no need to wait for steps i
don't need.
Taking out the steps did also not work really.
They are split in such a way that it's hard to find out where the
boot_archive part is. Thus I used some scripts from Tribblix and
Firefly. Was much easier.
As for distro_const taking 2+ hours. Alp and ptribble analyzed this some
time ago aswell.
IIRC distro_const makes some very funny things like 10'000 Symlinks into
/opt/misc which then is linked to /mnt/misc etc...
For more details i would need to take a deeper look at distro_const
but it looks like the way we build ISO's at the moment is the main
reason for the time it takes.
Oh one thing that I remember taking ages is lofiadm -d. Thats for
distro_const but also my scripts. And probably others too.
