Has anybody done this before; would you kind folks at Bell > Labs be able to tell us how you are generating ISO snapshots? I think you could do: disk/mk9660 -9cj -b bootdisk.img -p /sys/lib/sysconfig/proto/portproto -s / image.iso I am not sure, if they do not use another protofile in fact. However, it comes down to use mk9660(8) with a suitable proto file. (And portproto looks as a good point to start) The bootdisk.img has to be listed in the proto file. You get an image of a bootdisk with disk/format (as described in prep(8))
