i am trying to install solaris 9 from iso's downloaded from sunsolve.
onto an ultra-1. i burned the iso's on a mac since i have no burner
on my suns. i used the both the lacie cd burner and the pioneer 106
burners on the mac.

the ultra-1 cdrom fails to read any of the burned cds. i unhooked
it from the scsi chain and attached a philips cd-burner at station 6
of the scsi chain, and eventually got the two system cd's installed,
as well as the language cd. the supplementary disk can be read,
and a file appears on the file manager.

when i open the original files on the mac, i see all the individual
packages and their installers. the file manager does not show anything
like this. when i tried '/bin/sh sol-9-supp.iso' or something like
that name, i eventually am told that XXXXSolaris cannot be found.

is there any way to disassemble the iso to gain access to the
individual packages?

to avoid the burning problem i have used my ethernet to put the .iso
image on the ultra directly. is there any way to open this and gain
access to the stuff i want to install?

Burn at the lowest speed, foremost, and use descent media.

Or use lofiadm and mount the iso image if your iso file is on yuur SPARC
machine. Check man page for lofiadm, there are examples provided.
