Steve, I found this out the hard way. =-/ There's a workaround, if you like. I don't know how you boot your install image; but can you patch your miniroot? Applying 124630-51 or later allows extraction of v3.0 archives. FWIW patching the miniroot is pretty easy with U9, I haven't needed to do this since U3. I hear that U10 might be out in August, but I wanted this capability right away. I opened a case, and Oracle agreed to add a new note to 119534 as follows: > "The following note was added to the README of patch 119534-27: > > NOTE 11: Flash archives created after applying this patch will have a new > version number: 3.0.
