NAME

6       mkbootmedia - create bootable Solaris ISO image
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/bin/mkbootmedia -v [-l label] media-root iso
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The  mkbootmedia  utility  takes  media-root  (the  root  of an on-disk
14       Solaris install media) as input and  creates  a  bootable  Solaris  ISO
15       image  in  the  file iso, using mkisofs(8). The file can then be burned
16       onto a CD/DVD with utilities such as cdrw(1) or  cdrecord(1).  (Neither
17       mkisofs(8) nor cdrecord(1) are SunOS man pages.)
18
19       Caution -
20
21         The    directory    tree    media-root    must   contain   the   file
22         boot/grub/stage2_eltorito, which will be written to  the  media  boot
23         sectors.  This file will be modified with some boot information, thus
24         it must be writable. If necessary, first save a copy prior to running
25         this utility.
