BTW, if you are looking to extract "slices" of a boot CD ISO, someone wrote a script for that (SPARC, anyway) some time back, and I had written a C program (and IIRC posted it to Usenet - try groups.google.com) to do the job too. Once thus extracted, one could use lofiadm on the resulting individual files. IIRC, it doesn't extract the "slice" at the start of the ISO, since one could get that one by using lofiadm on the original ISO. To save anyone the trouble of digging it up, see http://groups.google.com/group/comp.unix.solaris/browse_thread/thread/39f9de148ed0df23/6ad98d95e58bf59c?lnk=st&q=group%3Acomp.unix.solaris+iso+slices#6ad98d95e58bf59c for a thread about some of this.
