Extract the archive section into directory called archive, rather than placing it in a file of the same name as the section. bash-3.00# flar split -d /flash -f engr.flar uncompress: stdin: corrupt input ERROR: Unable to process archive file //engr.flar. Hehe .. I guess I will try by installing the patches on solaris 8 box as suggested by Steve Lawrence here and then create flash image again. On a related note is it possible to create the image differently and then bring it over to solaris 10, short of using flar create ? That should do the unpacking of archive for you.
