lofiadm and jumpstart

On Solaris 8 and 9 it is not necessary to create CD's to make jumpstart images. This can be accomplished with lofiadm

 # ls /home/Solaris 
 sol-9-u2-x86-v1.iso  sol-9-u2-x86-v2.iso 
 # lofiadm -a /home/Solaris/sol-9-u2-x86-v1.iso /dev/lofi/1 
 # mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /mnt 
 # cd /mnt/Solaris_9/Tools
 # ./setup_install_server
 # umount /mnt
 # lofiadm -d /home/Solaris/sol-9-u2-x86-v2.iso
 # mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /mnt 
 # cd /mnt/Solaris_9/Tools
 # ./add_to_install_server
