bmrsrtadm: failure to create CD image for solaris 8

[oughck]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a BMR CD image for solaris 8 using bmrsrtadm option 2. The boot server which is also the master server (solaris 10), prompts me to disable my volmgt which i did using 'svcadm disable volfs'.

After clicking thru the various options, i got stuck at 'Enter CDROM device name: '.

At another screen, when i df -k while volfs was still on, it looks like this:
/vol/dev/dsk/c0t0d0/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s0 ..... /cdrom/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s0
/vol/dev/dsk/c0t0d0/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s1 ..... /cdrom/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s1
/vol/dev/dsk/c0t0d0/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s2 ..... /cdrom/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s2
/vol/dev/dsk/c0t0d0/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s3 ..... /cdrom/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s3
/vol/dev/dsk/c0t0d0/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s4 ..... /cdrom/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s4
/vol/dev/dsk/c0t0d0/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s5 ..... /cdrom/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s5

1. Should i turn on volfs before entering the cdrom device name?
2. Which one should i enter?

Thanks in advance for any assistance rendered.

if you have turned off volfs, try giving the device path, like /dev/dsk/<cd-rom-device-name that can be found using iostat command>

Else if vold has laready mounted your CD/DVD, then
Try giving path till:
/cdrom/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/
or /cdrom/en_icd_sol_8_701_sparc_cs/s0
