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 bootable 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.
