System Administration Commands mkbootmedia(1M)
NAME
mkbootmedia - create bootable Solaris ISO image
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/mkbootmedia -v [-l label] media-root iso
DESCRIPTION
The mkbootmedia utility takes media-root (the root of an
on-disk Solaris install media) as input and creates a boot-
able Solaris ISO image in the file iso, using mkisofs(8).The file can then be burned onto a CD/DVD with utilities such as cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1). (Neither mkisofs(8) nor cdrecord(1) are SunOS man pages.)
Caution -
The directory tree media-root must contain the file
boot/grub/stage2_eltorito, which will be written to the
media boot sectors. This file will be modified with some boot information, thus it must be writable. If necessary, first save a copy prior to running this utility. OPTIONS The following options are supported:-l label
Sets label as the label/volume name of the ISO image.-v
Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.
OPERANDS The following operands are supported:media-root
Top-level directory of an on-disk Solaris install media.
iso Name of the output file which will contain the resulting ISO image.EXAMPLES
