[This is only pertanent to S10, the "sxce" in the thread title referred to my
 first efforts to load a version of Solaris on this board]

The procedure to integrate the IDR into a DVD distribution is documented here:
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0806/819-7546.html

After rebuilding the installation OS on the DVD, I originally thought the IDR
could be stored in the Patches subtree of the distribution medium, and applied
during the regular installation process.  Unfortunately, the installation 
attempts to apply patches with the "dont-save-backout-information" option
turned on, and the IDR refuses to be applied in that mode..

So what I did was follow the blueprint to update the bootable OS on the
DVD, and stored the IDR in a non-standard directory on the DVD so it could
be applied after Solaris was installed on the host, but before attempting
to boot from the new installation.  Of course, you need to choose to 
reboot the host manually after installation to give you a chance to install
the IDR.
