Sorry for being a bit sloppy, but I haven't seen such thing... Yesterday I burnt the b85 iso to a dvd-rw, and I did it (for the first time) from shell (ksh to be precise) on Solaris 10 U4. If I recall correctly, the command I used was cdrw -i (iso.name) The iso is fine, it passes the md5 check. (Didn't check the dvd itself though...) The burn process went fine, and I have already installed it on two machines. But... Right after the install it says (where it would update the boot-archive), that it cannot find /ufsbckp//a/platform/i86pc/kernel/unix (might be different, but it misses the unix itself, and note the beginning, /ufsbckp). Okay, this was on the machine I wrote the dvd, and the iso file was (still is) in /ufsbckp/Nevada. /ufsbckp is a different hdd from /, btw. That was weird. After having it installed, I had to leave, but I gave an init 6, and it told me, that it can't find /ufsbckp//platform/i86pc/kernel/unix. Wow. Why does she think that it must prepend /ufsbckp to the line??? I've been doing upgrades on this very machine since b58 or so, a little bit more than a year, and have never experienced a thing like this. Apart from that the system seems to work fine.
Second chapter: Another machine. It has only Nevada (and winxp), but no Sol10, and all the non-ufs partitions are ntfs ones. Did an upgrade from nv_77 (the previous was nv_77 too), and yes, I got the same errors! But there isn't such thing as /ufsbckp on this machine! I looked through the whole dvd, looking for the "ufsbckp" string, but couldn't find it. ...but where does it come from then??????? I have never used the cdrw tool before, but that shouldn't impact the system, isn't it? Any ideas?? Attila ps.: See the attached screenshot!
