System Administration Commands                           mkcd(1M)



NAME
     mkcd - create bootable Solaris ISO image

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/mkcd -v [-l label] media-root iso


DESCRIPTION
     The mkcd utility takes media-root (the root  of  an  on-disk
     Solaris  install  media)  as  input  and  creates a bootable
     Solaris ISO image in the file  iso,  using  mkisofs(8).  The
     file can then be burned onto a CD/DVD with utilities such as
     cdrw(1) or cdrecord(1). (Neither mkisofs(8) nor  cdrecord(1)
     are SunOS man pages.)

     Caution -

       The  directory  tree  media-root  must  contain  the  file
       boot/grub/stage2eltorito,  which  will  be written to the
       media boot sectors. This file will be modified  with  some
       boot  information, thus it must be writable. If necessary,
       first save a copy prior to running this utility.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -l label

         Sets label as the label/volume name of the ISO image.


     -v

         Verbose. Multiple -v options increase verbosity.


OPERANDS
     The following operands are supported:

     media-root

         Top-level directory of an on-disk Solaris install media.


     iso

         Name of the output file which will contain the resulting
         ISO image.
