13.8 Solaris 2.5.x/2.6/7/8 for x86
Introduction:
The Driver/Utility package for x86 Solaris is in the
"\3102\DISK\SOLARIS.X86" directory on the installation CD-ROM:
• In-band SCSI driver for Solaris 2.5.x/2.6 on x86 ("IABS111F" and
"IABS111F.Z")
13.8.1 How to Make the Installation Diskette from the
Disk Image File
You may find some of the files in this directory have the same
filename but with different filename extension. They are the same disk
image but one of them is compressed for easy file transferring:
1. With no filename extension:
This is the disk image made of UNIX "dd" command. To restore
this disk image onto a floppy diskette, use "dd" command:
Example (using Solaris 2.6):
Insert a new diskette into the floppy drive.
# volcheck
# dd if=filename of=/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 bs=1440k
# eject floppy
# volcheck
(where "filename" is the filename of the uncompressed disk image,
"/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0" refers to the device name of the
floppy drive.)
2. With filename extension ".Z":
This is the disk image made of UNIX "dd" command, then
compressed by UNIX "compress" command.
To uncompress the compressed file, use the UNIX "uncompress"
command:
# uncompress filename.Z
(where "filename.Z" is the filename of the compressed disk image.
After the file has been uncompressed, the filename extension will
be removed. The "filename.Z" will become "filename".)
The compressed file - "filename.Z" will become uncompressed -
"filename". To restore this disk image onto a floppy diskette, use
"dd" command:
Example (using Solaris 2.6):
Insert a new diskette into the floppy drive.
# volcheck
# dd if=filename of=/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 bs=1440k
# eject floppy
# volcheck
