Hi Bernhard, to tell the truth, since I am not very familiar with sparc DVD architecture, it is not quite clear to me, what might be the sparc DVD layout changes you are referring to.
I have taken a look at S10U1, S10U4 and Nevada build 73 (available on Open Solaris pages) DVDs and it seems to me that the slice layout didn't change. "mount -p" shows for these media: [1] Nevada build 73 # mount -p | grep c0t0d0 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 - /media/cdrom ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 - /media/SOL_11_SPARC hsfs - no ro,nosuid,noglobal,maplcase,rr,traildot /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 - /media/cdrom-1 ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 - /media/cdrom-2 ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 - /media/cdrom-3 ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 - /media/cdrom-4 ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 - /media/cdrom-5 ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic [2] S10U1 # mount -p | grep c0t0d0 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 - /media/cdrom ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 - /media/SOL_10_106_SPARC hsfs - no ro,nosuid,noglobal,maplcase,rr,traildot /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 - /media/cdrom-1 ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 - /media/cdrom-2 ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 - /media/cdrom-3 ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 - /media/cdrom-4 ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 - /media/cdrom-5 ufs - no ro,nosuid,intr,largefiles,xattr,onerror=panic where s0 - hsfs - contains packages for installation plus other system files s1 - ufs - miniroot s2 - s6 - ufs - boot blocks for particular Sparc architectures. For now, they all contain .SUNW-boot-redirect file which redirects to s1. If you would like to modify DVD content and then recreate the bootable DVD, I think the good starting point might be http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0404/817-6991.pdf This document describes, how to modify s0, s1 content, how to recreate hsfs s0 image by means of mkisofs command and finally how to recreate bootable Sparc DVD.
