Hi, I want to boot a target solaris system using my own CD-ROM image. For that I run prepare-test-app inside flexus and interrupt after solaris has booted. Then I create a CD-ROM image using mkisofs and try to insert the CD into the target system. (As described in the simics manual).
Somehow the CD is not mounted. I believe that this is a problem related to simics, but could somebody please help.

The cdrom image is usually mounted somewhere under /cdrom/cdrom inside the simulated system. If you are trying to create a new solaris installation, I would recommend that you follow the basic procedures outlined in the "simics-target-guide-serengetti" that comes with the simics documentation. The <simics>/targets/abisko and /serengetti folders contain a variety of scripts that allow you to create a new Simics checkpoint from CDROM. None of these steps should require flexus. Once you've booted up the system and saved a Simics checkpoint, you should then proceed with flexus. I would also recommend that any issues you have with stand-alone Simics be redirected to the Virtutech discussion forum at https://www.simics.net/.
