Has anyone else tried to mount this image with lofiadm only to be told
that the file is not of the hsfs filetype? Image A mounts just fine,
but image B gives me this message.

Thanks

There 3 or 4 files should be contatonated together before trying to
mount it. There is only one DVD image and they should be combined before
trying to mount. I'm a bit surprised you managed to mount the first, but
the fact you can't do it with the second is no surprise at all.

Just to make it clearer, you want to do something like (unchked, from
memory)..

$ cat sol-10-u4-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-a sol-10-u4-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-b
sol-10-u4-ga-sparc-dvd-iso-c > sol-10-u4-ga-sparc-dvd.iso
$ su
# lofiadm -a /somepath/sol-10-u4-ga-sparc-dvd.iso
# mount -f hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt

part b of the image alone is useless, you are supposed to merge
parts a and b as a single iso that you can mount or burn. It should
be explained on the download website.

cat iso-a iso-b >> image.iso

Thanks, that makes sense. I tried to find instructions on this on
Sun's site but just couldn't find it.

Happy days!
